Abstract

Studies concerning collegians `alcohol use and high-risk sexual behavior are summarized Two theories of alcohol use and risky behavior are discussed: disinhibition theory and alcohol myopia theory. Alcohol myopia is the main focus because it is better supported by recent research. Suggestions for future research and for student personnel professionals are also provided. In this article we review the empirical research on collegiate alcohol use and high-risk sexual behavior. Our three purposes are (a) to review relevant theory and research published since the last review (Seto & Barbaree, 1995), (b) to describe implications for future research, and (c) to describe implications for future practice of college student personnel professionals.
