Sažetak
Authors believe that drinking alcoholic beverages can be associated with customs and habits specific to small communities, societies and even entire nations. The primary family, as the foundation of customs and habits of the first generation, has a role in stimulating drinking and alcoholism. The authors have examined some sociocultural factors, mostly taking into consideration relations in the primary family, by means of a questionnaire filled out by alcoholics (N=200) and non-alcoholics (N=100). The alcoholics usually have their first drink earlier, start drinking regularly earlier, and in the primary family there is a high tolerance towards the use of alcoholic beverages. The authors believe that the prevention should be directed primary towards the primary family with a view to changing their customs and habits as well as attitudes towards the use of alcoholic beverages.
