Abstract：
Predrinking and drinking games (DGs) are common risky drinking practices among adolescents and young adults in many different countries around the world. However, most studies on these behaviors have been conducted with university student samples in a limited number of countries. Despite the risks of negative alcohol-related consequences associated with predrinking and DGs, these activities are quite prevalent among young people. In this prologue, we provide definitions for predrinking and DGs and an extensive overview of the known prevalence rates of predrinking and DGs among young people around the world. This special issue addresses known gaps in the literature by including articles which (a) use differing methodologies to examine predrinking or DGs behavior, (b) consider psychosocial and contextual factors that influence these behaviors, and (c) examine young people\'s perceptions of alcohol policies and interventions. Taken together this Special Issue offers an international view on how and why young people around the world engage in these risky drinking practices, and potential ways to address these behaviors.
摘要：
饮酒前和饮酒游戏（DG）是世界各地许多不同国家的青少年和年轻人中常见的危险饮酒行为。然而,大多数关于这些行为的研究都是在少数国家的大学生样本中进行的。尽管与饮酒前和DGs相关的负面酒精相关后果的风险，这些活动在年轻人中相当普遍。在这个序言中，我们提供了预饮酒和DGs的定义，并广泛概述了全球年轻人中已知的预饮酒和DGs患病率。本特刊通过包括以下文章来解决文献中已知的空白：（a）使用不同的方法来检查饮酒前或DGs行为，（b）考虑影响这些行为的社会心理和环境因素，（c）检查年轻人对酒精政策和干预措施的看法。综合来看，本期特刊提供了关于世界各地年轻人如何以及为什么从事这些危险饮酒行为的国际观点，以及解决这些行为的潜在方法。
