Alcohol consumption and student life have been connected through many years. Many people establish their drinking habits during their years as a student and drinking habits among students are therefore an extremely important topic. The aim of this study was to examine the drinking habits of students at Växjö University. The study included 98 respondents who answered a survey concerning sex, age, living status, social relations, social desirability and drinking habits. The result indicated that male students consumed more alcohol than female students. There was also a strong connection between living status and alcohol consumption, with the students who lived on Campus consuming more alcohol than those living off Campus. Overall the result of the study was supported by previous research.
