CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Background of the Study
Alcohol plays a complex role in any society as it mingles with many aspects of
sociocultural life. The consumption of alcohol, often to excess, has long been a feature
that affecting all ages and all walks of life. Critically though it is the impact that binge
drinking is having on young people which is perhaps of the greatest concern. Our study
is all about the perceptions of the Grade 11 HUMMS students towards the accretive
growth of alcoholic inclination in Saint Theresa College. This study will identify the
different perceptions and outlook of the students in Grade 11 HUMMS strand. Starting
drinking as a young person can result in a greater risk of developing long-term health
conditions in later life. The use of and abuse of alcohol is widespread among students.
The use of alcohol among the students has becomes a culture.
Kirmani & Suman (2010) examined that the perception and attitude of the
students towards alcohol and found that boys possessed higher psychological distress
by having a complimentary attitude towards the consumption of alcohol rather than the
girls. It is also believed that boys had high expectation to use alcohol leading to positive
outcomes while expectations of the girls lead to negative outcomes. An insignificant
relationship between peer group influence and students' attitudes towards school and
alcohol consumption. On the contrary, it is found that there was a positive significant
1
relationship between alcohol consumption and students' attitudes towards school.
(Mukama2010)
Everyone seems to be aware of the fact that drinking too much alcohol can cause
various of health conditions. But it hardly matters to those who drink. The widespread
use of alcohol on young people has led to the need to understand the reasons why
students drink alcohol. Since alcohol consumption among the students is very rampant
in our generation, there is a need to conduct this kind of research study for us to be able
to understand the behavior and perception of the students towards the Accretive growth
of Alcoholic Inclination.
The main goal of this study is to know the perception of the Grade 11 HUMSS
students of Saint Theresa College of Tandag Incorporated towards alcoholic inclination.
This research also aims to know the outlook, mindset and the perspective of the
students towards alcohol consumption. Though this research will not truly identify those
students who drink alcohol and those who do not. This will give us a better idea of the
reasons why some students tend to consume or drink alcohol for this will dig into their
minds. As a student in a Catholic institution, the researchers only wish to promote the
image and attributes to God.

Theoretical Framework
According to the social learning theory, students acquire behaviors and act them
out as a result of poor relationships. Specifically, delinquent behavior and antisocial
behavior disorders have been linked with inadequate psychological development and
excessive alcohol use. Personalities such as: antisocial disorders, depression, low self-
esteem, hyper activism and high novelty seeking behaviors have been considered
predictors of addiction, consistent with the personality theory (Sremac, 2010).
The life course theory strives to understand the different pathways of an
individual during their developmental phase. By looking at the process of development
throughout a lifetime, this theory employs only one perspective for understanding
human beings. The life course theory relates to emerging adulthood in the most
conventional sense because the pathways people may embrace are everlasting.
According to the life course theory, individuals near each stage of development at
different times depending on external influences. Social influences and culture will
impact an individual’s development, such as cultural expectations and family
background.

This explores theories pertaining to excessive student drinking, and identifies the
three most relevant theories for understanding why students drink. Alcohol use is “tightly
woven into the social fabric of university life and brings social, economic, and personal
consequences” (Schulenberg et al., 2007, p. 3). It is necessary to investigate the
reasons underlying drinking to reduce negative consequences through a multi-dynamic
approach to the issue. Students reported drinking for many of the same reason adults
drink: to have fun, to be social, to become intoxicated, to display status and to ease
interactions among potential romantic partners (Sling, 2013). Sling (2013) explains that
students drink simply because they can. Without many responsibilities or priorities,
students have an abundance of free time. By watching others’ behavior, students learn
drinking is acceptable in social situations.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES ANDSTUDIES

This chapter discusses the literature and studies that are relevant to this paper
which provides the basis and direction to the study.
Related Literatures
Foreign
Liquor is positioned internationally as the eight-driving danger factor for death,
and tend for infection and incapacity (World Health Organization, 2011). Understudies
who participate in hard-core boozing are at an expanded danger of having scholarly
issues (College Drinking Prevention, 2005). Around a fourth of all school understudies
have persevered through scholarly results due to their drinking practices (NIAAA, 2013).
Scholastic issues that happen as a result of drinking are, yet not constrained to, the
accompanying: missing class, neglecting to do schoolwork, falling behind in classes,
doing inadequately on a test or assignments and getting lower grades than anticipated
(NIAAA, 2013). As indicated by College Drinking Prevention (2005), understudies who
did well in secondary school regularly demonstrated the impacts of liquor use in school
and how it can influence scholarly execution.
As per the representative interactionist point of view, individuals act dependent
on their discernments. People make implications through their encounters and
connections with others and after that demonstration dependent on these implications
10
they have shaped (Appelrouth 2011). In the event that those implications are seen as
positive, at that point that conduct will probably happen, yet on the off chance that those
implications are seen as negative, at that point the conduct is more averse to happen.
With regards to emblematic interactionism, one's drinking conduct is the result of one's
view of drinking. Along these lines, a positive or negative importance joined to drinking
will influence understudies' choice to drink liquor. This hypothesis gives a premise to
understanding the effect of recognition on drinking conduct. Emblematic interactionism
may give a comprehension of why understudies drink liquor and experience negative
drinking outcomes. In Denmark, there is a legitimate system that denies offering any
liquor to people younger than 16 and offering solid alcohol to people younger than 18,
however separated from these ages restrains there are no lawful confinements for
selling and utilizing liquor at colleges. In accordance with the absence of confinements
by law, most Danish colleges don't have their very own express decides that limit the
utilization of liquor. Truth be told, numerous college occasions effectively energize the
utilization of liquor. All the more explicitly, the presentation plans for rookies are often
focused on liquor utilization and are authoritatively marked as "getting alcoholic visits".
In any case, there is a developing worry that the solid connection between social plans
and liquor might prompt prohibition of understudies who go without liquor for religious,
social, or wellbeing reasons. When assessing explanations behind drinking, data is
accumulated from understudies, and endeavors are taken so as to recognize the
reasons basic hitting the bottle hard in the college populace.
11
Finlay, Ram, Maggs and Caldwell (2012) state, "changing the way of life of
overwhelming drinking on college grounds is an esteemed need of liquor and formative
scientists, counteractive action researchers, and school executives" (p. 1). More
research is required so as to determine the hidden speculations related with hitting the
bottle hard.
Local
Unknowingly, it is not only adults who are drinking but young people – even
teenagers. “Philippine law sets the minimum legal drinking age at 18 but underage
drinking is widespread,” Valbuena reported. “Most young people get alcohol from home
with or without their parents’ permission. They know how to obtain alcohol – they are
able to get it from friends or they can discreetly buy for themselves.” Information from
the WHO demonstrates that nearly 9% of the Philippines populace who are 15 years of
age and more established (assessed at 86 million) have a liquor use issue. What's
more, 25% of guys and 8.3% of females (15-85+ years) are overwhelming long-winded
consumers. A related and furthermore to a great extent unaddressed issue in the more
extensive Western Pacific area, and the Philippines specifically, is the job of liquor
showcasing and its potential connect to early liquor use among youth. Since the 1990s,
concern has developed about overwhelming drinking and liquor related hurt, and the
connection with the development in liquor showcasing that objectives youngsters.
In the Philippines it is aggravating that because of indulgent observing and
usage, liquor, for example, brew and hard beverages can without much of a stretch be
purchased in basic food item and comfort stores by youngsters. Our law sets the base
12
legitimate drinking age at 18, all things considered underage drinking is across the
board and pervasive. A decent number of youngsters get liquor from home. If not from
their home, they get hold of liquor from companions or they can tactfully purchase for
themselves as it is generally simple for an underage youngster in our nation to get liquor
from stores. Therefore, various instances of savagery; sexual and medication misuse
and suicide among Filipino adolescents have been ascribed to tipsiness or liquor
inebriation. Thus, this is already a developing worry in our general public particularly on
youth practices, just as to the way of life of our nation. This bill tries to ensure that our
country's childhood would do their duty in structure our country; banish minors from
drinking liquor, punish the individuals who abet them to access liquor and rebuff
foundations that offer liquor to minors.
Numerous Filipino youngsters, as most adolescents in the Western Pacific
locale, are getting to be routine consumers and are unconscious of the destructive
impacts of liquor misuse. Liquor utilization among the adolescent is nearing a disturbing
level, the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed yesterday, with upwards of 75
percent of the young in the locale swallowing alcohol at a normal of a few times each
week. In Pacific island nations like the Philippines, WHO noticed that going on a
drinking gorge is a typical practice. "Regardless of the way that 45 percent to 75 percent
of the youngsters in the Western Pacific district expend liquor consistently, there is poor
open familiarity with the destructive impacts of liquor misuse," it said. The Times of
Zambia online version (2009), reports how even with the base lawful drinking age of 18
years numerous youths beneath this age have kept mishandling liquor. A similar paper
13
reports how adolescents as youthful as nine a long time have been belittling drinking
spots and illicitly devouring inebriating alcohol.
The Post Newspaper online release (2009), saw that underage drinking in Zambia is on
the increment and is propagated by bar proprietors who don't keep the law that confines
every one of those who are underneath the age of 18 from expending liquor.
Related Studies
Foreign
Howland et al. (2010) proposed that the watched mind-set unsettling influence
following inebriation was likely the consequence of rest unsettling influences because of
liquor utilization. This contention is reliable with the discoveries from an investigation by
Singleton and Wolfson (2009). They discovered that poor rest plans (e.g., later rest
wake designs, more prominent postponement between weekday furthermore,
weeknight sleep times) are related with the volume of liquor devoured. Also, a study by
Kenny et al. (2013) uncovered that poor rest quality is emphatically identified with liquor
utilization and the experience of negative liquor outcomes. There is proof that a
considerable lot of the antagonistic impacts of liquor use are experienced at higher
levels for understudies with Greek life affiliations. In particular, Ragsdale et al. (2012)
uncovered that crew bingers were essentially more probable to participate in physical
battles and drive affected by liquor than non-Greek male bingers. Sorority bingers, then
again, were observed to be altogether bound to be harmed, drive affected by liquor, be
explicitly misled, and to take part in undesirable sex than non-Greek female bingers.
14
An ongoing review of Indiana undergrads analyzed 16 liquor results and found
that the most widely recognized was having an aftereffect (59.8%), trailed by inclination
awful/blameworthy about drinking (26.3%), and passing out (26.2%). While just 10% of
students announced getting injured or harmed because of their drinking (King and
Mikyoung 2014), Ragsdale et al. (2012) uncovered that this probability is right around
multiple times more prominent for hitting the bottle hard students.

In the Philippines, drinking is more adequate among young ladies than smoking.
By the by, it is as yet the case that it is viewed as progressively proper for men than for
ladies to drink. Guardians are increasingly careless with young men, giving them more
opportunity to drink liquor than their sisters. The youngsters said their family,
companions, and the broad communications have impacted them to try different things
with drinking liquor. Underscoring the basic job that the family plays in youth practices,
youngsters appear to submit their general direction to them possess guardians'
mentalities and conduct. Along these lines, a kid who grows up with a drunkard father is
bound to end up one himself. (Joyce P. Villanueva 2010). A cross-sectional study was
led to survey the liquor drinking conduct of teenagers and its related elements among
280 third year and fourth year secondary school understudies none purposely chose
secondary school in Baguio, Philippines during January, 2008. A high extent of
respondents in this examination (74.3%) were 15-16 years of age. The information we
reanalyzed by utilizing MINITAB. Chi-Square test was utilized for testing relationship
between the reliant variable and autonomous factors and criteria for measurable
15
noteworthiness was set atα = 0.05. There were 30.8% of understudies as consumers;
47.1% of consumers were guys and 18.2%were females. There was a measurably
noteworthy relationship between liquor drinking conduct and being male (Chi-Square =
26.9; p-esteem = <0.001). 62.9% of the understudy consumers expended > 1 container
of liquor for every day. Frame of mind towards ideal to drinking, having the option to
bear the cost of alcohol and parental impact were likewise decidedly measurably
fundamentally connected with liquor drinking conduct (Chi-Square = 9.82; p-esteem =
0.01), (Chi-Square= 28.34; p-esteem = <0.001) and (Chi-Square = 30.62; p-esteem =
<0.001) respectively.It was reasoned that family impact, demeanor towards drinking and
moderateness of alcohol were the contributing elements to understudies' drinking
conduct. It was prescribed that families, school and city authorities ought to effectively
be engaged with starting exercises against liquor drinking among teenagers.
Insights Gained
Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. Many young people are experiencing
the consequences of drinking too much, at too early an age. As a result, underage
drinking is a leading public health problem in this country. Furthermore, the active
participation and cooperation of the government officials in ensuring that the young
people are fully aware of the effects in consuming alcohol at a very young age is very
necessary. Punish the individuals who abet them to access liquor and rebuff
foundations that offer liquor to minors.

This chapter actually various of data and information, both locally and
internationally. In other words, this literatures and studies highlighted the significance of
the study in giving the appropriate information about alcoholism among youths. Both
aims to warn or inform young people about the consequences that they might face
when they engage in alcohol consumption.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the finding based on the data gathered by the researchers
as well as the conclusions derived from each problem stated in the study. This portion
also gives some recommendations based on the findings and conclusion.
Summary of Findings
Based on the results of the study, the following findings were drawn:
Majority of the respondents are females belonging to the age of 17-18 with the
total percentage of 54% while the males has the total percentage of 46% only. The
overall rating of the respondent’s perception towards the accretive growth of alcoholic
inclination is 3.39 which is interpreted as Observe. Among the respondent’s perception
that is being presented, the indicator no. 2 got the highest rating which is 4.02 and
interpreted as Observe. Furthermore, the respondents observe that the alternative ways
presented are effective to help lessen the accretive growth of Alcoholic Inclination. The
overall weighted is 2.19 and interpreted as Observe. The respondents observe that to
avoid or lessen the growing rate of alcoholic inclination is to watch for peer pressure. It
has the highest rating among the alternative ways that is being presented with 2.47
interpreted as Observe.

______________________________________________________________________
Alcohol consumption is widespread among preteens and teens. According to one
national survey, one in four eighth graders reports drinking alcohol within the past
month and 18% of eighth graders have gotten drunk at least once in the past year.
While many people may think that drinking is less serious than drug use, that is not the
case. Alcohol is a depressant, which means that it slows body functions, including
heartbeat, breathing, and thinking. Since alcohol consumption among the students is
very rampant in our generation, there is a need to conduct this kind of research study
for us to be able to understand the behavior and perception of the students towards the
Accretive growth of Alcoholic Inclination.
31
This study looks into the Perception of the Grade 11 HUMSS Students towards
the Accretive Growth of Alcoholic Inclination. We will gather information about the
student’s perception through the process of producing a set of survey questionnaire to
the chosen respondents. The goal is to know the student’s expectations and mind set
about alcohol or alcoholic inclination.
Students’ response to perception towards the accretive growth of alcoholic
inclination is what the researchers aim to reveal. In conclusion, the respondents’
perception has significant relation with their past experiences with alcohol.
