Abstract

The present paper aims to conduct a research on the alcohol consumption habits, in a very specific stratum of society such as university students, specifically of Salamanca. They are in an age and social conditions that increase their vulnerability, and they live in a city that is reputed to have an important nightlife, because of the over thirty thousand students who pass through it per year. Our results show that the profile of the college student alcohol consumer is a male, which begins on his consumption when he is 14 years old and on his 16 years old has his first alcohol intoxication. Currently, he gets drunk once a month in the company of his friends, he drinks mainly mixed drinks and he does not mix it with other drugs, doing all of this under a wide ignorance of his parents.
