Resumen
Objective: To study the prevalence of consumption and attitudes towards alcohol among adolescent students in the province of Valladolid. Methods: From a total of 18,888 students schools during the 2011-2012 school year, we selected a sample of 2,412 schoolchildren. We conducted an extensive survey of anonymous and autofilled, extracting data related to alcohol. Results: 77.2% of students had drunk alcohol at least once. The age of starting consumption was between 13 and 14 years. 64% of respondents reported having had an acute intoxication in the past year. Drunkenness was more common in older patients, with no differences in gender. The most common pattern of consumption was the weekend, in bars or pubs, combined or mixed drinks being the most consumed beverage. 8.3% of respondents had conducted (bike or car) under the influence of alcohol, and 20.4% had mounted in car or motorcycle where the driver had been drinking. The final regression model showed that alcohol consumption is associated with consumption of friendships, smoking, drug use and other factors. Instead maintain a good relationship with the father and teachers behave as a protective factor. Conclusions: We met with devastating results regarding alcohol consumption and drunkenness in adolescents. We consider institutional priority efforts and resources in education, to curb alcohol habit among adolescents.
