Dr. Jayathiee Sen, Harikumar Pallathadka, Dr. Ajit Kumar Ngangbam
Abstract: The review article aimed to gather information regarding alcohol consumption as a leisure activity among college students. Many research articles are diversified towards different aspects of alcohol use, such as the effects on academics, the COVID - 19 period, friend zones, etc., among students. This review aims to examine the role of alcohol consumption as a leisure activity among college students, assessing its prevalence, positive and negative impacts, and the implications for student well - being and academic performance. Only twenty - eight research articles focus on consuming alcohol during leisure activities among college students. The range of duration of published articles is between 2013 and 2024. Eight databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Schematic Scholar, and Research Gate. Studies involved college students aged 18 to 25 from various Indian and international colleges. Few studies have identified alcohol consumption during leisure as ?Alcohol Addiction?. Consuming alcohol during leisure was not reported to be beneficial for college students. In summary, this review explores the use of alcohol as a leisure activity among college students, analyzing 28 research articles published between 2013 and 2024. The study examines various dimensions of alcohol use, such as social gatherings, weekend enjoyment, and its impact on mental health. Findings indicate that while alcohol consumption serves as a key tool for relaxation and entertainment, it also poses challenges, including addiction and mental health issues. The review suggests further research into mitigating negative outcomes.
