“…When asking students why they drank alcohol or used illegal drugs, Shinew and Parry (2005) found that it was because of social reasons and that they usually engaged in these activities with their friends. These confirmed Lo's (2000) previous findings.…”

“…Much of this depends on the image they wish to portray to others and who they perceive their audience to be. Alcohol and risky sexual behavior tend to be a big part of college life and are even considered as a rite of passage for some incoming freshmen (Lo, 2000;Marciszewski, 2006). For example, Wechsler, Dowdall, Davenport, and Castillo's (1995) nationwide study of binge drinking found that 44% engaged in such behavior.…”

“…This impression management is directly relevant to depictions of college drinking on Facebook. Many college students believe that college is a place to party and drink alcohol (Lo, 2000;Marciszewski, 2006) and students tend to think that participation in these behaviors are necessary to be socially accepted in college (Lo, 2000;Shinew and Parry, 2005). This is supported by (Peluchette and Karl, 2007) who studied 200 Facebook profiles and found that 42% had comments about alcohol and 53% had photos about alcohol use.…”

Many students believe that drinking alcohol is part of the collegiate experience and showing that one consumes alcohol is an important part of establishing that one fits into this atmosphere. Facebook is one means in which college students present the appearance of social conformity in order to gain peer approval; yet, in accordance with Privacy Calculus Theory, students also need to weigh the potential cons of non-peer disapproval for drinking disclosures. However, for the process of Privacy Calculus theory to work with regards to peer acceptance, students need to obtain feedback from their peers in order to accurately assess the pros and cons of different levels of disclosure. Seven separate focus groups involving a total of 46 students at a small, private college in Pennsylvania were conducted to explore whether college students perceive limitations in appropriateness for Facebook drinking posts and, subsequently if they do anything to peers to express disapproval if this line is crossed. Findings suggest that college students consider Facebook posts about underage drunken behavior and about drunken vomiting inappropriate because non-peer Facebook friends, such as family, may see the posts; and, additionally, in the case of vomiting, because sharing such behavior is deemed unnecessary and excessive. However, findings also suggest that students ignore these inappropriate posts without offering any sanctioning comments to their peers and in many instances actually find these posts "entertaining" even though these students form negative opinions of the discloser. This questions how well Facebook works towards helping late adolescents understand the approved behaviors of their cohort and, in accordance with Privacy Calculus Theory, how accurately peers can evaluate the pros and cons of disclosure.

“…Many studies of alcohol and drug use by adolescents and young adults have sought out individual‐level risk and protective factors; findings have tended to confirm the importance of peer and family influences . Drinking in adolescence and very young adulthood is widely considered to be inappropriate, even deviant, behavior.…”

Background and Objectives This paper examined whether and how student binge drinking at the individual level was influenced by population disadvantages, community instability, alcohol-outlet density, and protective factors generated by community and school. Methods We used a dataset collected in 2002 by the Alabama Department of Mental Health, with additional materials generated by the 2000 Census and from the Alabama State Department of Education. School-catchments were employed as geographic units of analysis. The final sample comprised 78,138 public-school students in grades 6–12 who attended schools located in the 566 school-catchments. Results We hypothesized the presence of spatial processes that, once identified, would enhance understanding of student binge drinking. Our results confirmed that student binge drinking in a focal area was affected by that area’s structural factors and also by individual-level risk and protective factors. The results did not support the hypothesized impact of surrounding areas’ characteristics on student binge drinking in the focal area. Conclusions and Scientific Significance The results of our study clearly indicate that both environment-based factors and individual-level risk and protective factors are important in explaining student binge drinking in Alabama.
