    Author: Lorente FO, Souville M, Griffet J, Grélot L.
    Journal: Addict Behav; 2004 Jul; 29(5):941-6. PubMed ID: 15219339.
    Abstract:
    Using an anonymous self-report questionnaire (N=816 participants), we examined the relation between participation in sports and alcohol consumption and identified the risk factors associated with alcohol consumption among French high-school students. Univariate analysis showed that sport involvement was related to higher alcohol use (P<.05). Participants who participated in group sports drank significantly more than those who participated as individuals (P<.01). Multivariate analysis underlined factors associated with alcohol consumption, but these varied considerably according to the level of alcohol consumption. Three factors were associated with weekly and daily alcohol use: male gender, daily cigarette use, and perception of poor health.
