When traditional, robust risk factors of consumption are controlled, fake ID ownership meaningfully relates to heavy drinking in college. Also, the acquisition (onset) of fake ID ownership at each time point was predicted by previous-semester consumption. Fake ID ownership predicted concurrent and next-semester heavy drinking with increasing strength over time. Results showed that fake ID ownership increased over time (12.5% precollege to 32.2% fourth semester) and that Greek members were more likely than others to own fake IDs. Sex, Greek membership, and prior drinking were controlled. Regression analyses were used to estimate bidirectional relations between consumption and fake ID ownership. A sample of 3,720 undergraduates was assessed the summer prior to college entrance and during the 4 semesters comprising freshman and sophomore years. The authors examined the ownership of false identification (fake ID) for the purpose of obtaining alcohol and the relation of fake ID ownership to heavy drinking in a longitudinal sample of college students under 21 years of age.
