På vilket sätt studenternas alkoholvanor inverkade på olika socialisationsprocesser? På vilket sätt studenterna upplevde alkoholen som ett stimulansmedel? Metodologiskt användes en semistrukturerad intervjuform som åtföljdes av en ram som fångade in olika huvudteman. Urvalet bestod av åtta intervjupersoner i åldrarna 20-30 år, varav fyra var män och fyra var kvinnor. Intervjuerna varade mellan 20-30 minuter.
