| Abstract | Adolescence as a period of human development has been the subject of attention of social scientists and international bodies, who have tried to define its limits, as well as the characteristics that define this stage.1 Adolescence is a complex stage of transition between childhood and adulthood, in which the individual feels a member and participates in an “age culture” characterized by its own behaviors, values, norms, slang, spaces and fashions.2 Alcoholism is a disease caused by the abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages and by the addiction that this habit creates. The figures of adolescents and young consumers increase every year.3 Prevention is an important resource within society to prevent different evils from reaching or expanding. This term is defined as actions aimed at the eradication, elimination and minimization of the impact of the disease and disability; It includes social, political, economic and therapeutic measures.4 It is a reality teenagers, parties and alcoholic beverages are related, it is not about absolutizing, but neither can one deny vulnerability, the risk to which they are exposed, and, therefore, the most significant efforts in the fight against toxic substances should be directed towards prevention.5 The World Health Organization, cited by Vignolo et al.,6 states that primary prevention strategies may be aimed at prohibiting or reducing the exposure of the individual to the harmful factor, up to levels not harmful to health. |
