In 54.94% of cases, friends first invited them to drink alcohol; in 33.59%, a family member. 1.4% of the children admitted to drinking alcohol daily (2.1% of boys against 0.7% of girls). 57.3% of fathers, 24.3% of mothers, 25.8% of brothers and 38% of friends consumed alcohol habitually. 36.9% of the children did not think that alcohol was a drug.The levels of alcohol consumption in the section of the population studied were high. Children began early and had easy access to alcoholic drinks. The level of consumption in their family and social environment was very high and was related to children's consumption. These results highlight the need for a preventive programme. |
