Sažetak
The aim of the study was to establish differences in alcohol consumption among the athletes and the non‐ athletes, as well as to explore the situation in Croatian within the global context. A questionnaire on alcohol consumption habits (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test ‐ AUDIT) was given to a sample of 80 subjects (50 athletes and 30 non‐athletes). The questionnaire was reliable for both groups (Cronbach’s alpha 0.73 for the athletes group ; Cronbach’s alpha 0.70 for the non‐athletes group). Anamnestic data and the data on tobacco products consumption habits were also collected. The results showed that the athletes consume alcohol more than the non‐athletes (almost significant statistical difference, p=0.08). Such trends have been registered before in the world, in particular among the athletes. Thus, the athletes represent a target group on which programmes for decreasing alcohol consumption are carried out. Similar programmes should be carried out in Croatian, as well, in order to monitor the issue. On the contrary, sport stands as a protective factor from the smoking consumption. The athletes consume significantly less tobacco products than the non‐athletes (p=0.02). To conclude, the study reveals alcohol consumption problemme among the athletes and, as such, should be dealt with in an appropriate and immediate way following the examples of other countries that have been dealing with the same problemme successfully.
