This study investigated the relationship between the students' combined belonging and binge drinking. Combined belonging was defined as a combination of both subjective (perceived belonging) and objective (participation in school activities) measures of belonging. The sample included 33,360 college students enrolled in U.S. States collegiate institutions. : Data were obtained from an online survey through the Healthy Minds Study from 2018 to 2019. Logistic regression models estimated odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Overall, 39.3% of students met criteria for binge drinking. Combined belonging had the highest odds of binge drinking compared to their counterparts. Being 21 and 22 years of age was the strongest risk factor for binge drinking. : Interventions should be tailored to include objective and subjective measures of belonging to effectively reduce college binge drinking.

The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor is a major target of ethanol, and it is implicated in learning and memory formation, and other cognitive functions. Glycine acts as a co-agonist for this receptor. We examined whether Org24598, a selective inhibitor of glycine transporter1 (GlyT1), affects ethanol withdrawal-induced deficits in recognition memory (Novel Object Recognition (NOR) task) and spatial memory (Barnes Maze (BM) task) in rats, and whether the NMDA receptor glycine site participates in this phenomenon.
