Abstract

Adolescence is the main category of the general population that is vulnerable to addiction or occasional use of psychoactive substances.Among the risk factors for alcohol consumption among adolescents are: mental stress, fragile psycho-emotional structure (marked by feelings of insecurity / anxiety), negative self-image, poor control of action impulses, low level of responsibility, feeling of despair and depression, intra-family conflicts that appear as an expression of the dysfunctional social and emotional environment and that lead to opposition and protest, pressure from the elderly, neuroticism, eccentricity  and the need to stand out.
