The authors base their work on the fact that, in the last couple of years, drunk youngers adolescents can be most ever more frequently in the emergency rooms of psychiatric and internal medicine clinics. In this paper, they try to investigate the phenomenon of consumption of alcoholic drinks in the population of srudents of the final classes of primary school. Besides tha afcts mentioned above, the autors have tried to investigate that fact in correlationwith alcohol-drinking habits and its implications on success in school, as an indicator of already present disturbances, with grave consequences on psychological and social finctioning of alcoholic drinks consumers. The autors also investigate the attitudes of younger adolescents towards alcoholism, as a social-medical problem, and the attitudes towards the persons intoxicated with alcohol. The study results are very disturbing and suggest that much greater efforts ahould be given by medical and pedagogical services in prevention and treatment of alcoholism.
