Culture, purpose, motive, or even the person itself has an essential part on how an individual treats a substance. Drinking motives have been known to affect the alcohol use of people and how personality factors influence alcohol consumption. However, this study investigated the mediating effect of drinking motives between the two variables. This association was investigated based on perspectives of college students from different colleges and universities within Calamba City, Philippines through Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings uncovered that extraversion and alcohol use have a positive significant relationship, whereas neuroticism and alcohol use are inversely related. Meanwhile, extraversion and neuroticism are directly related to drinking motives like the relationship between drinking motives and alcohol use. Conscientiousness, on the other hand, has no significant effect on alcohol use and drinking motives. Given that each variable has a direct effect towards one another, this may imply that different drinking motives, distinguished personality traits, and alcohol use are interrelated. The study also revealed that drinking motives have no intervening effects on the link between identified personality traits and alcohol use. The reason why further investigation on other factors that might lead to mediation between personality factors and alcohol use is recommended.
