Motivations for alcohol use among adolescents: development and validation of a four-factor model
TL;DR: A 4-factor measure of drinking motives based on a conceptual model by Cox and Klinger (1988, 1990) is presented in this article, and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the hypothesized model provided an excellent fit to the data and that the factor pattern was invariant across gender, race, and age.

Alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among college students and youth: Evaluating the evidence
TL;DR: Analysis of event characteristics showed that drinking was more strongly associated with decreased protective behaviors among younger individuals, on first intercourse experiences and for events that occurred on average longer ago, suggesting future efforts aimed at reducing alcohol use in potentially sexual situations may decrease some forms of risky sex, but are less likely to affect protective behaviors directly.

Surveying the damage: a review of research on consequences of alcohol misuse in college populations.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests there is only a modest correlation between students' self-perception of having a drinking problem and the many negative consequences of drinking that are reported, and research on racial/ethnic background, time trends and developmental stages reveals patterns in student data on consequences of Drinking.
