Introduction: Investigations of drinking practices often rely on cross-country comparisons of population averages in beverage preferences, drinking volumes and frequencies. Here, we investigate within-culture patterns and variations in where, why and how people drink, answering the research question: how does engagement in drinking practices vary by sex, age and household income?

This study used intensive longitudinal methods to examine episode-specific effects of social networks (network drinking, network composition) on college students' drinking, comparing within-person and between-person effects on individual episodic drinking, and highlighted social network characteristics that might be targeted for intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Managing stray cats in urban areas, particularly in Australia, involves significant challenges, with many being euthanized. The Australian Pet Welfare Foundation evaluated a free sterilization program in Ipswich, focusing on cat ownership practices and sterilization rates compared to dogs.
- A study with 343 participants revealed that while a majority (91%) of cat owners sterilized their pets, only 74% of younger cats were sterilized, highlighting gaps in community awareness and practices.
- The findings indicate a strong need for community initiatives to increase cat sterilization and ownership, improve containment practices, and enhance public education on stray cat management to promote animal welfare overall.
