This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of social bonding and tendency to alcohol consumption among students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. Quantitative research method and with a survey technique have been done. The statistical population of the present study includes all students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the academic year 1396-1397, which is 11,280 people. The sample size was determined by Cochran's formula (432) and the samples were determined by stratified random sampling after determining the sample size and the population of each faculty. The results showed that among the dimensions of social bonding, only the variable of participation and involvement in society had no significant relationship with the tendency of students to consume alcohol, but the variable of social bonding and its dimensions (attachment and interest in each other, commitment and belief in norms And law enforcement in society) had a significant and inverse relationship with students' tendency to consume alcohol based on Pearson correlation coefficient. And by examining the status of social bonding among students of Mohaghegh Ardabili and using sociological analysis, it was shown to officials and social planners to increase the quality of social bonding among students in relation to reducing social harms. In other words, high social anomalies such as the tendency to consume alcohol indicate a weak social bond among members of that community.
