This paper offers a developmental perspective on college drinking by focusing on broad developmental themes during adolescence and the transition to young adulthood. Heavy drinking increases during the transition to college, with significant interindividual variation in the course and consequences. The majority of young people make it through these years with, on balance, more positive than negative experiences with alcohol, but some experience tragic consequences and others develop chronic problems of abuse and dependence. The transition to college is a critical developmental transition, with major individual and contextual change in every domain of life leading to the potential for discontinuity and change in functioning and adjustment. Normative developmental transitions of adolescence and young adulthood are reviewed, focusing specifically on fundamental biological and cognitive changes; transitions of identity; changes in affiliations with the family of origin, peers, and romantic partners; and achievement transitions related to school and work. These transitions offer important vantage points for examining increasing (and decreasing) substance use and other health risks during adolescence and young adulthood. Final sections review research and policy implications, including broad implications for developmental interventions and more specific recommendations for alcohol-specific programming. (Contains 279 references, 3 tables, and 2 figures.) (Author/GCP)
