Sažetak
Background: Alcohol consumption is widely represented in Croatian culture and is also a growing phenomenon among teenagers. Objectives: to determine the characteristics of alcohol consumption by college students. Methods: 100 nursing school stsudents were examined about alcohol adversity and various aspects of its consumption. Results: 90% of students had repeatedly consumed alcoholic beverages. Time of the first intake was from 11 years (17.2%), to 15 (28.3%), boys beginning significantly earlier. 42% of students were drunk once or more times in the last month. 55% of students think it is OK to get drunk on weekends, and they began drinking earlier than those who think this is not right (t = 3.55, p = 0.001). Correlation between knowledge and consumption is positive, low and significant (r = 0.204, p = 0.041). Discussion: Anti-alcohol campaigns should try to change attitudes towards alcohol consumption, not only give information about alcohol adversity.
