Objective: Playing drinking games (DGs) is a common behavior among university students, which concerning given that DG participation related to more alcohol use/consequences. People's motivations for playing DGs are associated with certain patterns and negative consequences. However, few studies have accounted general motives other key covariates when examining the unique associations between DG-specific outcomes. The present study used large, multisite national sample of students in United States determine cross-sectional (e.g. sexual pursuit, enhancement/thrills, conformity) frequency, quantity, consequences, above beyond relevant demographics motives. Method: University (N = 8922) completed self-report survey assessed behaviors, motives, as well behaviors Results: Multivariate findings indicated enhancement/thrills pursuit riskiest their association Conformity was positively consequences while competition boredom were frequency. Social lubrication unrelated all Conclusion: Enhancement/thrills, conformity may be particularly important targets prevention intervention efforts.
