The NIAAA sponsors the Statistical Snapshot of College Drinking and the Underage Drinking Research Initiative. These two programs are fundamentally great sources for statistics about college and underage drinking.

Although this website is geared toward university administrators, there are lots of useful facts, figures and analysis. The site includes a statistical overview of the consequences of college drinking in an easy-to-read and use format. Some of the information is duplicated from the NIAAA’s web site, as the NIAAA sponsors the College Drinking Prevention site.

Over 30 contributors. Hundreds of references to college drinking studies. Federal, university and private sponsors.

College Drinking and Drug Use is the go-to-reference for the most recent findings and questions about college drinking.

A must read for anyone who works with college drinkers in a university, clinical, or research setting. Or anyone who wants to learn about the issues.

4. OAS [dot] SAMHSA [dot] GOV

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration sponsors the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Not only can you find statistic here on college drinking, but you can expand your research to include the context of the full range of American drinking patterns. A must have for any statistics seeker.
