Abstract

This study assessed age of first experimentation with alcohol and its present use and consequences of use by 231 college students at a midwestern university. Early alcohol use was significantly associated with present use of alcohol, negative consequences of present alcohol use, and several measures of adjustment including academic and personal-emotional adjustment.
