INTRODUCTION
• The Lifestyle Survey Project began in 1992.
• The survey tracked patterns of alcohol and drug consumption and consequences among Western students.
• It was replicated in 1995, 1998, and, most recently, during spring quarter, 1999.
• This Focus report presents findings from that most recent survey.

FINDINGS
• A regression analysis of the 1999 Lifestyles Survey findings indicated that a significant predictor of Western GPA was the typical number of drinks a student consumes on a given weekend night (ρ = .001, = -.263, R2= .07). In other words, the more drinks reported on typical occasions, the lower the Western GPA. (See Table 1.)

• A regression analysis indicated that the total number of RAPI items reported was a significant predictor of Western GPA
• The more drinks a survey respondent had on typical occasions, the higher the RAPI Mean, and the more a student drinks (on a typical weekend night), the higher the number of negative effects due to alcohol will be experienced.
FINDINGS
Note: RAPI Mean was created to give some meaning to the implications of alcohol-related problem analysis.

• For each item, the same pattern emerged: those who had not experienced the behavior consumed less alcohol on typical and peak occasions than those who had; moreover, those who had not experienced the behavior had higher Western GPA’s than those who had.

CONCLUSIONS
There is a strong correlation between alcohol consumption and Western GPA. Students who drink less have higher GPA’s; students who drink more have lower GPA’s.
