Abstract

Alcohol intake is a socially accepted activity which usually starts and establishes during adolescence. This research explores  the  relationship  between  alcohol  intake  and  social  behavior  in  adolescent  men; an observational methodology was performed for  exploratory  purposes.  Eleven college students  between  the ages  of  14  and  19  were  observed  during  six  sessions  of  15  minutes  long  within  a  period of two weeks. The alcohol intake rate, kind of drink  and  rate  of  social  interactions  (positive  and negative) were analyzed. These were observed in  a  shop  near  the  Universidad  Cooperativa  de  Colombia in Neiva. LOGIT model results of these three variables show that the rate of intake is not related to participants’ social behavior, however, it keeps a  relation  with  the  kind  of  drink;  though,  this  study  is  not  enough  to  explain  occurrence  of  positive  and  negative  social  behaviors  at  alcohol  intake contexts.
