Abstract

In the present study, we sought to examine the relationship between aspects of intimate relationships (status and length) and alcohol consumption in college students. We ran independent groups t-tests to analyze connections between status (committed and not committed) and drinking measures. Both the Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (S-MAST) and Quantity X Frequency of drinking trended (though not significant) so that those who were not committed drank more than those who were. There was also a trend (measured with Kendal’s Tau to account for skewed data) for those who were in their relationship for longer to drink less than those who hadn’t been committed for as long. Because of the low number of participants (n=35), we are unable to draw any solid conclusions from our results.
