DEFINITION OF TERMS

To ensure that you fully comprehend the study, the following terminology have been operationalized
and conceptualized.

ALCOHOLISM - is defined by alcohol dependence, which is the body's physical inability to stop
drinking and the presence of alcohol cravings.

CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP - indicates that one event is the result of the occurrence of the other event;
i.e. there is a causal relationship between the two events. This is also referred to as cause and effect.

GPA – means grade point average, and it's a way to translate your letter grade. So an A is 4.0, a B would
be 3.0, a, C would be 2.0

HETOROGENITY- the quality or state of consisting of dissimilar or diverse elements.

. 
LEARNING CAPACITY –  mean the physical structure of your brain, including all the neural networks
that determine how well you can think (your memory, attention, speed of processing and ability to
sequence ideas).

PERVASIVENESS - the fact of being present and noticeable in every part of a thing or place.

 Every day, educators and school staff put in a lot of effort to help students succeed in the future.
One of the issues that can hinder a child's academic success and other life goals is alcohol. Additionally,
excessive alcohol consumption is linked to memory loss, poor concentration, lack of coordination, and
slurred speech, all of which have a negative effect on one's ability to learn.
Although parents have the greatest impact on their children's decisions regarding whether to drink
or not to drink, they are not the only barrier to underage drinking. The academic and social development
of students is greatly aided by teachers. Students must be encouraged to excel in the classroom by
advisers, counselors, and even administrators, who should also remind them not to drink alcohol if they
are still underage.

Students

We all have to make the choice to drink or not at some point in our lives. The risk of alcohol-
related damage is higher for young people than for older ones. Drinking alcohol when still a teen can
significantly raise the chance of harm to the growing brain as the brain continues to develop into the mid-
20s. Later alcoholism issues may result from it as well.
Early alcohol use can affect how a teen's brain progress and make it more difficult for them to focus
in class. It is crucial that students are aware of how alcohol use affects their ability to study because
excessive alcohol consumption may have unfavorable impacts, such as making it difficult for students to
concentrate on their work or think clearly.
Focus issues can seriously hinder your capacity to perform well in school activities and complete
other critical tasks. By limiting the amount of time spent studying, finishing homework, and attending
school, alcohol usage may also have an impact on performance.

You can look really stupid. The impression is that drinking is cool, but the nervous system
changes that come from drinking alcohol can make people do stupid or embarrassing things, like
throwing up or peeing on themselves. Drinking also gives people bad breath, and no one enjoys a
hangover.

and/ or behavior problems • Disregard for school rules

Memory lapses, poor concentration, bloodshot eyes, lack of coordination, or slurred speech • Switching
