Figure 3.4 is titled "Heavy Alcohol Use, by College Attendance and Age: 2003." It is a bar graph, where the horizontal axis represents college enrollment by age group, and the vertical axis represents the percentage using in the past month. The four college enrollment/age categories are: Aged 18 to 22 and Enrolled Full Time in College, Aged 18 to 22 and Not Enrolled Full Time in College, Aged 26 or Older and Graduated from College, and Aged 26 or Older and Some College or Less. For each college enrollment category, the percentage with heavy alcohol use in the past month is as follows:

Among 18 to 22 year olds enrolled in college full time, 17.6% had past month heavy alcohol use.
Among 18 to 22 year olds not enrolled full time in college, 13.4% had past month heavy alcohol use.
