Abstract	The aim of this study was to determine if differences on the set of alcohol related behaviors (alcohol use intensity and drinking consequences) emerge across both ideological and interpersonal identity statuses. A sample of 319 college students completed a series of alcohol related behavior questions and the Objective Measure of Ego-Identity Status (OMEIS-2) [Revision] scale. Results suggested significant differences on the set of alcohol related behaviors across ideological statuses only, suggesting that confusion in ideological issues may play a greater role in college alcohol involvement compared to interpersonal identity statuses. Furthermore, a greater degree of confidence in ideological beliefs can serve as a buffer against deleterious drinking consequences. Implications for prevention and intervention efforts are provided.
