Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the intentions of underage students at a southeastern university as to a new 21-year drinking law. Students (N = 440) in introductory health classes were given a questionnaire prior to the law's enactment. Major findings included: 90% were alcohol users, with 85% beginning regular alcohol use by age 18. Only 6% intended to stop drinking, 70% planned to change their location of use, and 22% intended to use other drugs more. Seventy percent intended to obtain alcohol from their friends, and 21% intended to use a false or borrowed identification. Serious questions about potential negative impacts of the law are raised.
