ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to identify the relationships among problem drinking behavior, AUDIT, drinking motivation, coping style and stress in male university students. The most relevant variable with problem drinking behaviors was the alcohol use disorder level. Thus, the higher the AUDIT score, the more problem drinking behaviors occurred. The higher the level of coping motive and enhancement motive as the sub-domains of drinking motivation, the level of detached coping and emotional coping as the sub-domains of coping type, and stress level, the more problem drinking behaviors occurred. In addition, the higher the level of social motivation as the sub-domain of drinking motivation, the less problem drinking behavior occurred. Therefore, it is necessary to develop programs and interventions to manage problem drinking behaviors in high risk group diagnosed through Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). In addition, by reflecting the drinking motivation and coping styles and stress management that are related to the problem drinking behaviors in the contents of drinking health education and programs, the correct drinking culture of male college students should be established.
