Consumo de alcohol juvenil: una visión desde diferentes colectivos
In this paper, we study various groups related to the “botellón” evaluating its approach to the reality of this phenomenon and identifying their needs for intervention. Has been interviewed 4083 young people (14-25 years), 212 parents and 63 policemen from Valencia about what they mean by “botellón”, the consequences associated with it, and the alternatives they think reduce this phenomenon. Police and youth refers mainly to the alcohol consume with friends. Police and parents highlighted the negative socials consequences of teenage consumption, while young people see positive consequences (socialization) and no association with performance or personal problems. The alternatives proposed by police are lower alcohol prices and to enable botellódromos, that would not solve youth excessive consumption, and a type of alternative leisure undervalued by young people. The proposals from the parents transfer their responsibility to the administration, school, etc. and together with the policemen intend to increase youth alcohol knowledge. However, the three groups should have access to this information and become aware of the bio-psycho-social consequences of this consumption. In addition, parents have to work their level of consciousness, because they are one of the direct determinants of onset and duration of consumption.
