Abstract
Evidence indicates that religious involvement is associated with lower levels of alcohol consumption. However, mechanisms underlying the specific effects of religion on alcohol-related behaviors are still not entirely clear. The present study examined the association between religious perceptions of alcohol consumption and drinking behaviors among religious and non-religious college students.
