RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether drink specials independently increase patrons' risk of achieving a high level of intoxication upon exiting drinking establishments. METHODS: In a campus community, data were collected from exiting patrons (N=291) via sidewalk interviews and breath tests on 6 nights of 2 consecutive semesters. RESULTS: A multivariate model revealed that taking advantage of a drink special was associated with a fourfold increase in risk of achieving a BAC >or= 80 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS: These findings are the first to document that the drink discounting practices of college bars can be linked to higher intoxication levels among exiting patrons.

This study investigated the mediating role of adolescent self-efficacy in the relationship between parental practices and adolescent alcohol use. Resistance self-efficacy was a perfect mediator in the relationship between parental monitoring and lower alcohol use. Resistance self-efficacy may determine the effect of parental monitoring on deterring alcohol use in adolescents.
