Abstract
A group comprising 300 adolescents rancing in age from 15 yo 18 years old inclusive, all pupils at secondary schools in Granada, Was studied in order to examine the relationship between alcohol consumpition and academic performance. A questionnaire including items such as the knowledge of alcoholic drinks and their effect on health, the frequency of daily and weekend consumption, and the effect alcohol ingestion has on academic performance was used. The results obtained reveal that the adolescent interviewd know very little about nutrition and more sepecifically, about the effects of alcohol consumption. They show a high frequency of consumption with 29.5% drinking beer on a daily basis and 48.9% on Saturdays. 77.5% say their academic performance is poorer after the ingestion of alcohol and 76.5% of those who consume alcohol on a daily basis (44.1%) do not pass their exams.
