Note. Three separate models were estimated: (1) preparty drinks (N = 1,073), (2) preparty blackouts (N = 1,072), and (3) a multivariate model in which all motives (situational control, interpersonal enhancement, intimate pursuit, barriers to consumption) were allowed to covary (N = 1,073). One participant was missing data on age and therefore excluded from the models; another participant was missing data on blackouts. Standardized covariances (i.e., correlations) between prepartying motives ranged from .28 to .50 (all ps < .001). Bolded values are significantly different at p < .05.
