Risky single-occasion drinking (RSOD) has dire consequences upon health and
well-being including unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases
such as HIV/AIDS, crime, and car accidents. The prevalence of RSOD among
young people is alarming. Despite this, as yet, a review of existing
literature on RSOD amongst young people is lacking. This article will
provide an overview of this area of research focusing on the definition of
RSOD, its prevalence among young people, health and behavioural effects of
RSOD, the perceived risk of RSOD among young people, and interventions to
reduce RSOD in young people. In addition, recommendations are made for
health educators interested in reducing the incidence of RSOD in young
people.
