The role of alcohol and cannabis co-use in drinking rate and its impact on consequences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of alcohol and cannabis co-use on college student drinking and related outcomes is complex. Specific characteristics or patterns of co-use events beyond drinking quantity may be important to the experience of consequences. The present study used repeated daily surveys to examine the association between co-use (versus use of alcohol only) and drinking rate on negative consequences.

Methods
