“…The average age of onset of use of alcoholic beverages observed in this study (15.7 years) is similar to that encountered in the National Survey I on the Use of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Amongst University Students (15.3 years), and in studies undertaken with Brazilian students in secondary education [1,3,10,11]. The early age of experimentation with this substance and the time interval over which these individuals consume alcoholic beverages (73.2% had consumed alcohol for more than 2.6 years) indicate that the alcoholic habit precedes university entry.…”

Desde logo deve averiguar-se a eventual presença de consumo de substâncias e, se for o caso, a possível toxicodependência, bem como outros problemas associados, de que são exemplos os comportamentos antissociais (Nardi, Cunha, Bizarro, & Dell'Aglio, 2012). Acresce, ainda, a prática de delitos (Passini, 2012), a existência de contactos/problemas com o sistema de justiça (Taxman, 2014), as ações violentas e até as práticas sexuais de risco (Lyman, 2014) e em que é empregue a violência (Scully, 1994), sobretudo em associação a estados de intoxicação por consumo de determinadas substâncias (Anglin, Spears, & Hutson, 1997).…”

“…A tolerância em relação ao uso de bebidas alcoólicas expõe os jovens a outros riscos, uma vez que se considera um período de formação de alguns sistemas de transmissão neuronal, o que predispõem a vulnerabilidade para a dependência e o uso abusivo quando há uma utilização precoce dessa substância 30 . Além disso estudos mostram que o uso abusivo de álcool pode ser associado a outros problemas comportamentais e de saúde 1,6,7,8,27,31,32 , podendo assim tornar o indivíduo mais vulnerável a outras situações de risco para o desenvolvimento saudável.…”
