Abstract	Drinking remains a significant part of the college experience for many students across the nation. The 2010 Monitoring the Future survey found that 65 percent of college students reported alcohol use in the past 30 days, 37 percent reported occasions of heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks), and nearly half (44 percent) reported having been drunk in the prior 30 days. The effect of high-risk and heavier drinking on academic performance has been well documented in a number of studies. However, research demonstrating its effect on retention is limited. The multiple factors influencing a student's decision to leave college make it difficult to directly correlate students' alcohol use to the ability to succeed in college. This paper discusses studies conducted on the correlation of student attrition, retention and alcohol use. Lessons learned from a program used by the University of Connecticut are discussed. (ERIC).
