Abstract | The current literature focuses on arguments about strategies to prevent drinking-related behaviors among college students, but inadequate attention is being paid to the words used to conceptualize student drinking behavior. This paper makes the case that students thinking needs to be taken into account if they are to personalize messages about drinking. Rutgers University, New Jersey, is presented as a case study of on-going data collection designed to reveal what students themselves think. This paper describes an innovative initiative at Rutgers and the use of the term "dangerous drinking" as an alternative to "binge drinking." The Communication and Health Issues Partnership for Education and Research at Rutgers (CHI) has engaged in ongoing qualitative research into drinking practices on campus and has developed and administered a survey instrument. Their findings indicate the importance of approaching campus drinking from multiple perspectives, especially looking at the language used to convey to students what is problematic to students about excessive drinking.
