(Received 9 October 2004; first review notified 22 November 2004; in revised form 21 December 2004; accepted 1 March 2005; Advance Access publication 29 March 2005)

Aims: To examine the link between hazardous drinking and level of sport participation in New Zealand. Methods: Sports science and general university students (n = 427) completed a sporting profile questionnaire that included the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Results: Elite sportspeople (both provincial and international/country level) reported higher rates of hazardous drinking than non-sportspeople and non-elite sportspeople. Similar differences were observed in AUDIT subscale scores, with international/country level sportspeople reporting greater symptoms of dependence than other groups.
