Study shows that drinking games have
substantial negative consequences
(CPS)Chug-a-Iug and other
drinking games are not as harm¬
less as college students; may
think, warn two researchers in
a recently published study.
Nearly 4,000 alcohol-con¬
suming students from 58
American colleges and univer¬
sities were surveyed about tbe
games-they play when drink¬
ing. Tbe study was done by
David Hanson, a professor of
sociology at Potsdam College
of tbe State University of New
York, and Ruth Engs, professor of
applied health science at Indiana
University at Fort Wayne, Indi¬
ana
( While students who identified
themselves as "light1* of "moder¬
ate" drinkers experienced few al¬
cohol-related problems, those who.
played a drinking game within the
preceding year significantly in-3
creased tbe probability of nega¬
tive consequences in 15 of 17
drinking-related behaviors, the
report says.
Tbe behaviors included miss-'
ing classes, getting low grades,
trouble with the law, violent be¬
havior, or property damage.
More man twice as many game
players as non-game players expe-'
rienced difficulties in most cat¬
egories, such as driving while
drinking. Twice tbe number game
players as non-feame players also
had fears mat they may be alcohol¬
ics.
Chug-a-lug contests, which
identify winners by those who con¬
sume tbe most alcohol in a time
period, add ."quarters," agame that
involves flipping' a quarter into a
mug of beer to designate the per¬
son who has to drink the contents,
were identified as two popular
campus drinking games.
Hanson and Engs stated that
drinking game behavior should re¬
ceive greater attention from cam¬
pus alcohol prevention programs
and'messages. The two research¬
ers concluded, however, that mes>
sages that stress abstinence from
drinking have proved to not be
effective among college stu¬
dents.
"Light" and "mcjderate'*
drinkers were defined in the
study as those who drank no
more than three to four drinks
no more than once a week, or
five or more drinks no more
than once a month, "Heavy"
drinkers were defined as those
who drank more than, five
drinks at any one sitting once a
. week or more.

UNFORT^NATEIY, THIS IS WHERE
PEOPLE ARE PUTTING
TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
Every year, a lot of people make a
' huge mistake or their taxes. They
don't take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can
easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current tax-
bite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income—es|),£(:i ally
for the "extras" that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may not . . -
cover. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since all earnings on.
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
money you don't send to Washington
works even harder for you. Down the
road, that can make a dramatic difference
in your quality of life. *■*"' «
What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices*-from the
guaranteed security of TIAA to the
diversified investment accounts of
CREFs variable annuity—all backed
by the nation's" number one retirement V
system. ,
. Why write off tbe chance for a more
rewarding retirement? Call today and
learn more about how TIAA-CREF
SRAs can help vou enjoy many *
happy returns.
Benefit new from tax deferral. C*U our SRA totline 1800-842-2731, act. 8016.
