There is expedient evidence showing that differences in adolescent alcohol consumption and other risk-behaviour depend on many factors, but an important role is the habits acquired in the family or group of friends. The current study reveals the type of consumer of the analyzed group. The results showed that the percentage of alcohol abstinence among adolescents was higher than those who are at risk of developing serious medical problems due to alcohol consumption. In order for a person to become alcohol-dependent, there are several factors that must be analyzed: the psychological field, the amount of alcoholic beverages available to consumers, the great variety, social pressure (in our civilizations there are no events that are not lived in around alcoholic beverages - holidays, family reunions), genetic predisposition.
