Teenage alcoholism. Recently, there has been an increase in the incidence of alcoholism among adolescents, the age of alcoholics is decreasing every year, - presentation Presentation on the topic of alcohol in adolescence



Teenage alcoholism is developing in a short time: 3 times faster than adults ... If a teenager at the age of 15-17, or even earlier, begins to systematically "indulge" in alcohol, then alcoholism can form in a year and a half .



The causes of teenage alcoholism are closely related to 3 aspects:

  • family problems;
  • the influence of the environment (company);
  • personal characteristics.

Family problems

Children living in complete, prosperous families, where they are loved and appreciated, pay enough attention to them, are rarely drawn to alcohol.


Teenage alcoholism almost always grows on the basis of family inaction:

  • parents set an example themselves;
  • cannot influence the behavior of their child.

Wednesday (company)

The reason for early alcoholism is not so much a craving for alcohol as the influence of the company.


The main patterns of group alcohol consumption:

  • start to drink alcohol out of curiosity ;
  • the group motive is always strong - they all try alcohol together, to keep up with the company ;
  • adolescents often do not have enough money to indulge in alcohol on a regular basis, and therefore reception can be unsystematic;
  • intoxication is accompanied by increased motor activity : they make noise, dance, aggressive reactions may occur, the result of which is the beating of bystanders, violence;
  • drinking in company often associated with early sexualization : the drunk dose helps to establish contact, get rid of complexes, and hormones take their toll.

The second stage is characterized by the regular intake of alcoholic beverages. The dose and frequency of alcohol intake are growing. The behavior of the teenager is changing. This period lasts up to 1 year. At the third stage, mental dependence develops, which can last for several months or years. The teenager himself is an active promoter of the intake of alcoholic beverages at any time, in any quantity and of any quality. This is the initial stage of chronic alcoholism. The fourth stage is defined as the chronic stage of the disease. Formed withdrawal syndrome, mainly with a predominance of the mental component.

    The age at which beer is tasted for the first time has dropped from 16 to 12-14, and teenagers prefer to drink strong varieties. And drink more, more ... Meanwhile, today doctors are seriously concerned about the increase in alcohol dependence among adolescents. According to statistics, in recent years the percentage of adolescents diagnosed with "alcoholism" in the age group 12-16 years old was 5%, 17-25 years old - 10%, and many of them first tried alcoholic beverages in childhood, at 8-9 years old ... In the mass consciousness, there is an opinion that beer is a low-alcohol and completely harmless drink. In fact, possessing a powerful diuretic effect, beer mercilessly flushes out of the body "building materials" - proteins, as well as fats, carbohydrates and trace elements, especially potassium, magnesium and vitamin C, which is a disaster for a growing person.
