Drinking games are a high-risk social drinking activity consisting of rules and guidelines that determine when and how much to drink (Polizzotto et al., 2007). Borsari's (2004) seminal review paper on drinking games in the college environment succinctly captured the published literature as of February 2004. However, research on college drinking games has grown exponentially during the last decade, necessitating an updated review of the literature. This review provides an in-depth summary and synthesis of current drinking games research (e.g., characteristics of drinking games, and behavioral, demographic, social, and psychological influences on participation) and suggests several promising areas for future drinking games research. This review is intended to foster a better understanding of drinking game behaviors among college students and improve efforts to reduce the negative impact of this practice on college campuses.

Myoelectric pattern recognition with virtual reality and serious gaming improves upper limb function in chronic stroke: a single case experimental design study.

Background: Myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) combines multiple surface electromyography channels with a machine learning algorithm to decode motor intention with an aim to enhance upper limb function after stroke. This study aims to determine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a novel intervention combining MPR, virtual reality (VR), and serious gaming to improve upper limb function in people with chronic stroke.
Methods: In this single case experimental A-B-A design study, six individuals with chronic stroke and moderate to severe upper limb impairment completed 18, 2 h sessions, 3 times a week.

Background: There is a robust body of work demonstrating that certain drinking practices, such as pregaming or playing drinking games, are linked to heavier, riskier patterns of drinking among college students. However, less attention has been paid to other drinking practices that are relatively common among undergraduates, such as daytime drinking (i.e.

Background: Modifiable lifestyle factors are implicated as risk factors for neurological and psychiatric disorders, but whether these associations are causal remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate associations and ascertain causal relationships between modifiable lifestyle factors, neurological and psychiatric disorder risk, and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers.
Methods: We analyzed data from over 50,000 UK Biobank participants with self-reported lifestyle factors, including alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, diet, sleep, electronic device use, and sexual factors.

Playing drinking games (DGs) is a common, socially-interactive risky drinking activity. During the pandemic, many students either returned home to live with their parents or remained on campus. Because DGs often require social interaction, playing DGs in-person can increase students' risk for COVID-19 exposure.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from 8006 early adolescents to assess how different types of screen time relate to substance use experimentation over one year.
- Increased overall screen time, especially on social media, texting, and video chatting, was linked to higher likelihoods of trying substances like alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis.
- The findings suggest that digital interactions may drive early adolescent substance use, prompting the need for further research to understand these connections better and develop effective interventions.
