Relation to Underage Youth Readership." Journal of Adolescent Health 45.6 (2009): 626-33. Web. 16 Nov. 2010.
In this study, it was proposed that the alcoholic drinks that are most often consumed by minors, are often put in magazines as advertisements that underage men and women are most likely to read. The study took place between 2002-06 and the results were not friendly. It was obvious after the study concluded, alcoholic drinks popular to minors were frequently put in the magazines with higher youth readership. Alcohol companies are focusing their ads to seek out the younger crowd through the popular magazines they choose to read. Although just an abstract, it will make a good reference on studies that have gained valuable research.

Unlike almost all the other sources I have come across, this website is the devils advocate to all con arguments to alcohol advertising directed towards youth. It explains that CAMY (one of the largest contributors to standing up against these ads) is not being intellectually honest and how they use statistics to lie. The site is one of the few I could find on the pro argument towards the advertisements that minors are exposed.

Televising alcohol during sporting games is highly effective to market your product to a large group of minors. It explains how many younger athletes and fans watch college sporting events and alcoholic companies spent over fifty two million dollars on advertising on commercial breaks. This doesnt mean its only appeals to underage viewers, many legal consumers also watch college sports which makes a good argument for the people who are trying to get thier product advertised during these games. This site also talks about other ways ads reach minors and what effects and influences are given based of a number of statistics.
Jackson, Rebecca. "The relationship between lifestyle and campus eating behaviors in mal and females." College Student Journal 43.1 (2009): 860-871. Ebscohost. Web. 22 Nov. 2010.
Poor nutritional practices and heightened levels of stress, two common attributes of university life, are strongly linked with weight gain and decreased health. Little research has examined the relationships between university students' lifestyle factors and campus eating behaviours; therefore, this study aimed to examine relationships between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. Both lifestyle and eating behaviour questionnaires were developed and administered to male and female undergraduate students at a Canadian university. Students whose living arrangements had not changed since high school consumed less alcohol than individuals who moved away from their previous dwellings. Fast food consumption was also significantly related to lower physical activity levels and higher expenditures for food on campus. Males also consumed more alcohol than females and spent more money for food on campus. Conclusion. Relationships do exist between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. These results may be used as a foundation for future research on the effect of lifestyle on eating behaviours and nutritional status in university age student

Crombie, Aaron P, et al. "The freshman weight gain phenomenon revisited." Nutrition Reviews 67.2 (2009), 83-94.
The "freshman 15" is something every college student worries about. This article is reviewing the studies that have been done on this topic and seeing possible factors of it. They list that possible factors could be alcohol, change in physical activity, and many more. It also researches the differences between men and women in this subject. They come to conclude that freshman normally do not actually gain 15, but it appears more like it because it is less likely to be in lean weight.
College men report that they want women to drink less. I suggest that, if this article is of interest to you, you seek out the original study from Loyola Marymount University.
