Exposé complet, alcohol abuse and youth

INTRODUCTION

Adolescence is a particularly important period in an individual’s life. Indeed, it is during this stage that the child learns to make a break with his childhood to move on to the adult world. In the midst of an identity crisis, the adolescent-to-be then seeks by all means to discover himself as a person, hence the phenomenon of excessive or regular consumption of alcohol which represents a real risk for health, and particularly for young people. In addition to its long-term impact, alcohol can cause dangerous behaviors.

Indeed, eager for discoveries and strong sensations, the young adult falls into a phase of experimentation during which he is tempted to try all kinds of things (and substances), in order to discover who he is, what he like it or not, what he wants and who he wants to become in life. It is in this context that we will try to develop in our study the causes, risk factors, consequences and possibly solutions to this problem of excessive alcohol consumption among young people.
