“…Apart from legal aspects, availability and social factors such as negative behavior and income, there are other individual factors such as genetic, emotionally unstable, family problems, authoritative parenting style, and peer pressure. [ 13 ] Moreover, increased use of social media has exposed young adults to alcohol-related content, which influences their offline use of alcohol and risky drinking. [ 14 ] A study by Ramanan VV found that most of the participants drank to get relief from pain or tiredness and more than half had strained relations with their family members or neighbors.…”

Background: The health issues and social problems associated with alcohol use are well known. This study seeks to identify the prevalence of alcohol consumption and dependence among alcohol users in a rural area of Trivandrum district. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of alcohol use among adults of Nellanad Panchayat, a rural area in Trivandrum, Kerala, to find out the interventions required among the alcohol users, and to identify persons with harmful and hazardous use of alcohol using AUDIT. Settings and Design: Cross-sectional study in Nellanad Panchayat, Trivandrum district, Kerala. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 1545 residents in Nellanad Panchayat, a rural area in Kerala, by interviewing adults with the help of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The overall prevalence of current alcohol use was 146 (9.5%). The prevalence among males was 143 (18.3%) and females was 3 (0.4%). ASSIST scores showed that 99 (50%) of ever users required health education, 74 (37.8%) required counseling, whereas 23 (11.7%) required de-addiction. Conclusions: Among males, the alcohol consumption is still as high as 18.3%. The most important factor affecting alcohol use is peer pressure. Health education is the most required intervention to reduce burden of alcohol use.

The study focused on expectations of alcohol effects and patterns of consumption in German and Polish adolescents in the border region of Pomerania. In 2005/2006 a cross-sectional study was conducted in various schools. Adolescents with an average age of 14 from one German town (Greifswald) and two Polish towns (Szczecin and Kolobrzeg) were assessed using the ESPAD (European School Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) questionnaire. Altogether 757 (444 Polish and 313 German) students in their 7th and 8th grades were assessed. Differences between alcohol consumption patterns and expectations between Germany and Poland, and relationships between alcohol consumption and anticipated alcohol effects were tested. There is a difference in patterns of consumption between the two countries. Among all adolescents, expectations of positive alcohol effects dominated, and the negative effects were estimated to be less likely. In a country-specific comparison, German students estimated the occurrence of positive as well as negative effects to be likely. Adolescents who consumed a lot of alcohol in both countries estimated the positive effects to be stronger. Adolescents are more focused on short-term experiences than the long-term consequences of alcohol consumption. The results show potential targets for prevention and intervention of future risky consumption and alcohol use disorders.

“…Deja, statistiniai duomenys rodo, kad Lietuvoje kaip ir daugelyje Europos šalių bendrasis grynojo alkoholio kiekis, tenkantis vienam gyventojui, viršija 10 litrų per metus (4,36). Tai tik patvirtina, kad deklaruojamos, bet realiai neįgy-vendinamos priemonės negali duoti laukiamų rezultatų (37).…”

“…Daugelyje Europos šalių, ne išimtis ir Lietuva, alkoholio kontrolei didelės įtakos turi komercinės ir politinės struktūros (3,37). Atlikta pakankamai mokslinių tyrimų, įrodžiusių, kad alkoholinių gėrimų reklama skatina ir vaikų, ir suaugusiųjų alkoholio vartojimą (38,39).…”

Išvados. Išgėrinėjimas ir svaiginimasis alkoholiu tarp Lietuvos moksleivių 1994-2006 m. žymiai išplito ir vis dažniau alkoholinius gėrimus vartoja jaunesni moksleiviai. Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvos moksleiviai, palyginus su kitų šalių bendraamžiais, yra tarp dažniausiai piktnaudžiaujančių alkoholiniais gėrimais.Adresas susirašinėti: A.

Todėl šios problemos pirmaeilio spendimo būtinybė sulaukė visuotinio pripažinimo ne tik Europos Sąjungos (ES) šalyse, bet ir visame pasaulyje (3-5).Pasaulinės sveikatos organizacija (PSO) ir Europos Bendrijų Komisija kelis pastaruosius dešimtmečius daug dėmesio skyrė vaikų ir jaunimo piktnaudžiavimo alkoholiniais gėrimais stabdymui ir kontrolei (5, 6). PSO Alkoholio chartija (1995) reikalauja, kad visi vaikai ir paaugliai turi teisę augti aplinkoje, kurioje nebūtų vartojami alkoholiniai gėrimai ir nebūtų ska-* The full-length article in English can be found at
