Abstract

This research evaluates alcohol consumption among 591 high school students, using two data collection instruments: the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test - AUDIT and the Quantity and Frequency of alcohol use in the last month. We also considered alcohol consumption among family members. Results show that 22.3% of the students scored 8 or more points on the AUDIT test, indicating the risk use of alcoholic beverages. Consumption is more frequent among male participants, who study at night, are not part of any religions and have a relative who drinks too much.
