TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - I can play all night: examining the relationship between perceived tolerance and drinking game alcohol consumption JO - Substance use and misuse A1 - Ehret, Phillip J.

SP - 1318 EP - 1327 VL - 47 IS - 12 N2 - The present study examined the impact of perceived tolerance to alcohol on maximum alcohol consumption while playing drinking games. Participants were student drinkers (N=3,546) from two west coast universities. Among these students, 69.2% (n=2,290) reported playing a drinking game in the past month. Analyses demonstrated game players had higher perceived tolerances, and consumed more alcohol than non-game players. A regression model revealed that higher levels of perceived tolerance were related to increased maximal alcohol consumption while playing drinking games. Study limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
