The use of alcohol is widespread among students and sometimes led to negative
effects to a teen's behavior such as a teen's behavior at school, behavior at home
and a teen's social behavior. (Ed's pakidagdagan HAHAHAHHAHA)

The present was conducted to find answer to the following:

First, the level of alcohol consumption by the teenage students.
Second, level of the manifestation of behavior as assessed by students in terms of
behavior at school, behavior at home and their social behavior.
Lastly significant relationship between the alcohol consumption and teenager behavior

To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive method of research was used.
Self-structured was utilized to determine the relationship between the alcohol
consumption and teenager behavior. A total of 30 participants in St. Jerome
Integrated School of Cabuyao who were chosen purposively to answer a set of
questionnaire. Measuring the mean and Pearson R were used to interpret the data
gathered from the respondents.

Alcohol consumption is related to a teenage behaviour , more health problems, and a

shorter life expectancy. Although Pearson correlation between consumption and
behaviour, lifestyle factors play an intermediate role.
The purpose of the present study was to obtain more insight into the relation between
teenage behaviour, alcohol consumption through a general population survey among
30 respondents in St Jerome Integrated School. Depression, Loneliness, Embarrassed
as independent, and Learning Skills, Behavioral Skills, Social Skills, Literature as
dependent variables. Abstinence decreased significantly by increasing educational
level for both sexes. For men, excessive drinking, and notably very excessive
drinking, was more prevalent in the lowest educational group. For women, no
significant relation between educational level and prevalence of excessive drinking
was found. After controlling for differences in drinking behaviour, among men the
prevalence of 'psychological dependence' and 'social problems' was higher in
intermediate educational groups, whereas prevalence of 'drunkenness' was lower in
intermediate educational groups. For women, a negative relation was found between
educational level and 'psychological dependence'; prevalence of 'symptomatic
drinking' was higher in the lowest educational group. Prevalence of problem drinking
was not related to educational level in either sex. It is concluded that differences exist
between educational levels with respect to abstinence, but only limited differences
were found with respect to excessive drinking. Furthermore, there is evidence for
higher prevalence of alcohol-related problems in lower educational levels, after
controlling for differences in drinking behaviour, in both sexes.
