Abstract
The drinking patterns of 232 undergraduate students at the University of Queensland were examined and comparisons made with other reports of alcohol consumption by tertiary youth. Several similarities in drinking patterns were revealed. Most students appear to be light‐moderate drinkers, with males consuming alcohol more frequently and in greater quantities than females. Sex differences were also noted in beverage preference. The need to standardize measures and increase comparability between studies is discussed.Keywords
