    Author: O'Brien KS, Blackie JM, Hunter JA.
    Journal: Alcohol Alcohol; 2005; 40(3):239-41. PubMed ID: 15797880.
    Abstract:
    AIMS: To examine the link between hazardous drinking and level of sport participation in New Zealand. METHODS: Sports science and general university students (n = 427) completed a sporting profile questionnaire that included the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). RESULTS: Elite sportspeople (both provincial and international/country level) reported higher rates of hazardous drinking than non-sportspeople and non-elite sportspeople. Similar differences were observed in AUDIT subscale scores, with international/country level sportspeople reporting greater symptoms of dependence than other groups.
