A smartphone app helped reduce college student drinking—mainly by correcting misperceptions about peer behavior in the three-fourths of students who overestimate their peers’ drinking. For them, shifting these perceptions explained up to 19% of the reduction in alcohol use over 6 months. In contrast, health risk messages did not explain the intervention’s impact.

Takeaway: Shifting social norms may be more effective than warning about health risks – effects are strongest in those who overestimate their peers’ alcohol use.

Binge drinking trends are shifting.

While women have consistently reported less harmful and hazardous alcohol use than men, recent data from 2017-2023 shows notable reversals among young adults: Young women ages 18–25 reported more binge drinking than young men (32% vs. 30%).
