The topic that this paper has chosen to study is Gambling. It will look at the relationship between gambling and alcohol. The Research Question of this study is “How does the use of alcohol influence gambling, among young adults in Montreal?” The Research Hypothesis is “If a young adult in Montreal consumes alcohol while gambling, then they are more likely to be negatively effected.” The research method I used to gather my information was Surveys. The sample consisted of 93 young adults that live in Montreal. It was found that there was not a strong relationship that alcohol effects gambling behaviour negatively. The research hypothesis was not proven due to fact that there was no correlation between the two variables.

In the study by David Giacopassi, B. Grant Stitt, and Margaret Vandiver, it was

“Always”, when they were gambling.
This study will look at Gambling and its relationship with alcohol. It will be
looking to see what effect alcohol causes on those who are gambling. It will also compare
this result with those who do not drink and gamble.
