N2 - There is extensive research regarding the alcohol consumption behaviors of employees and of college students, yet little work has considered crossover between these populations. This study examines work-related factors and college major (hospitality vs. non-hospitality) in explaining alcohol use at work among employed college students (N = 788). Results demonstrated formal alcohol policies moderated the effects of access to alcohol and after-work alcohol-use norms (social drinking), but not the effect of at-work norms (coworker behaviors). No effects were found for college major. Hospitality majors reported a slightly higher consumption level; however, less than 6% reported high-risk behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
