Text

Alcohol consumption is a common unhealthy pattern of behaviour among students, and the reasons for drinking alcohol are, for example, relieving stress or forgetting something bad [82]. In any case, excessive alcohol consumption is a very serious problem in universities, as the consequences of this unhealthy behaviour include missed classes and lower grades, injuries, sexual assaults, overdoses, memory blackouts, changes in brain function, lingering cognitive deficits, and death [83]. University students who suffer from problem drinking with the risk of addiction are also characterized by the use of other addictive substances (tobacco, marijuana, or cocaine), but also by depression, psychological distress, risk behaviour, and low interest in academic activities [84].
