There's been a large drop in drinking among U.S. college students who went home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study finds.

The students were asked about their drinking habits and living arrangements before and after school shutdowns in the spring of 2020: living with peers before and after closure, living with parents before and after closure, or living with peers before closure but with parents after.
