Abstract
This study explored the involvement of two key psychological factors, drinking motives and impulsivity traits, in
binge drinking. On the basis of a large screening phase (N=4424), 867 binge drinkers were selected and were
first compared with 924 non-binge drinkers. Then, a cluster analysis was performed, focusing on the binge
drinker sample, to explore the respective involvement of four drinking motives (DMQ-R model) and four
impulsivity facets (UPPS model) in this habit. Centrally, the cluster analysis identified three clusters of binge
drinkers presenting distinct psychological characteristics and alcohol consumption patterns: emotional,
recreational, and hazardous binge drinkers. Hazardous binge drinkers were characterized by strong drinking
motives but moderate impulsivity. Binge drinking should thus no more be considered as a unitary drinking
pattern but rather as a habit encompassing a variety of psychological profiles. Moreover, risky drinking habits in
young people might be mainly related to disproportionate drinking motives. Future studies should thus consider
binge drinking heterogeneity, and prevention programs focusing on drinking motivations should be developed
