Gutgesell, Margaret E.; Moreau, Kerrie L.; Thompson, Dixie L.

Journal of Athletic Training, v38 n1 p62-66 Jan-Mar 2003

Data from a student survey indicated that self-reported problem drinking and eating behaviors existed in both groups at similar rates. There did not appear to be a significant relationship between self-reported alcohol use and eating disorders. (SM)
