Abstract
We tested whether drinking refusal self-efficacy and drinking to cope mediated social anxiety symptoms and alcohol use-related problems among 360 current undergraduates who endorsed past-month binge drinking. Greater social anxiety was related to less drinking refusal self-efficacy and more drinking to cope, which was related to greater alcohol use-related problems.
