    Main Results:

    • Approximately 50% of surveyed students reported a close relationship with someone whose drinking caused problems.
    • A range of coping responses were documented among affected students.
    • No identified coping strategy was deemed effective for either the individual with problematic drinking or their significant other.

    Conclusions:

    • Problematic alcohol use has a widespread impact on college students' social networks.
    • Existing coping mechanisms are insufficient in addressing the complexities of alcohol-related problems for both the drinker and their loved ones.
    • Further research is needed to develop effective interventions and support systems.
