AB  - The cross-sectional and longitudinal relations between reasons for abstaining or 
      limiting drinking (RALD) and abstention were examined in a 16-year longitudinal 
      study (N = 489) of college students with and without a family history of alcohol 
      problems. Results indicated that RALD based upon upbringing or religiosity were 
      associated with increased rates of abstention, whereas RALD based upon perceived 
      or experienced negative consequences of drinking were associated with lower rates 
      of abstention and increased alcohol consumption among drinkers. In addition, 
      changes in RALD over time coincided with alcohol consumption transitions. 
      Abstainers who began drinking after turning 21 reported a decrease in the 
      importance of RALD associated with loss of control and upbringing or religiosity 
      compared to abstainers who continued to abstain after turning 21. Conversely, 
      drinkers who began abstaining after leaving college reported an increase in the 
      importance of RALD associated with loss of control and upbringing or religiosity 
      compared to drinkers who continued to drink after leaving college. Examining the 
      reciprocal influences of RALD on drinking outcomes extends previous research and 
      may inform prevention and intervention programs among college drinkers.
