This research study investigates the relationship between excessive use of social networking sites and attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol consumption in college students. The study aims to assess potential discrepancies in patterns of alcohol consumption, frequency and intensity of drinking issues, motivations for drinking alcohol, adverse complications that result from drinking, effective and ineffective efforts to abstain from drinking, and general outlook towards alcohol intake. The findings suggest that excessive social networking sites usage is associated with more positive attitudes towards alcohol usage and more adverse complications from drinking.
