Objective . Assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and drinking in college freshman. Method . College freshman ( N = 199) at a university completed the drinking questionnaires. Drinking amount and the alcohol problem index (RAPI) served as outcomes, and BMI was the independent variable. Results . RAPI scores were associated with gender, amount of drinking, and BMI ( P < 0.001, F = 13.44). Increase of RAPI with drinking amount was larger for females (slope = 0.06) than for males (slope = 0.03). Conclusion . This information can be helpful when providing health promotion strategies to college students regarding nutrition modifications that would be most beneficial for their health.
