Ham, Lindsay S. "Positive Social Alcohol Outcome Expectancies, Social Anxiety, and Hazardous Drinking." Cognitive Therapy & Research 33 (2009): 615-23. Print.

This research article discuses the correlation between college drinking and the prevalence of social disorders. The article does not speak of sever social disorders but rather social disorders that are found quite often throughout the college population. The article also draws correlations between the increase or severity of social disorders and the increase in alcohol consumption. The students are using alcohol to sooth social situations. While this is no in direct opposition to my paper it shows the social aspect of drinking and draws correlations to the social situations present in college and the increase in drinking. I choose this article because when dealing with a something like alcohol abuse it is hard to find a source that will tell you in is a good thing. So I chose the article that had no relation to the presence of stress in college academia and the increase in drinking. The author is a well know doctor in the field of psychology. This publication was her dissertation she submitted in order to obtain her doctoral degree from the university of Nebraska.
