Substantial research on problem drinking has identified determinants ranging from the biological to the socioculturel. From a social learning theory perspective, drinking represents purposive behaviour (Jessor, 1987). Based on this framework, the psychosocial literature generally indicates two distinct motivational pathways. One of these paths is social, drinking to socialize or avoid social rejection (Celantino & McQueen, 1978; Cox & Klinger, 1988; Read, Wood, Kahler, Maddock, & Palfai, 2003; Smith, Abbey, & Scott, 1993).
