“…With regard to lifestyle characteristics, most of the participants denied the habit of smoking and consuming illicit drugs, while 34.1% reported drinking alcoholic beverages once or twice a week. These findings have also been observed in other national and international studies and have attracted attention, given the negative consequences that the consumption of alcohol and other drugs can trigger on the health of these young women ( 23 - 24 ) .…”

“…Neste sentido, ao avaliar o uso combinado de bebidas alcoólicas e energéticas e práticas no trânsito entre 549 universitários Woolsey et al (2015) identificaram que 51,2% (n=281) usavam apenas álcool e 48,8% (n=268) relataram o uso combinado de álcool e bebidas energéticas no último ano. Outro estudo realizado por Mendonça et al (2018) com mulheres universitárias mostrou que 34% (n=236) costumavam consumir bebidas alcoólicas associadas a bebidas energéticas. Salienta-se que a combinação das duas substâncias reduz a autopercepção de intoxicação e aumenta o desejo de beber, comprometendo principalmente a segurança da direção (McKetin & Coen, 2014).…”

Isto é motivo de preocupação, pois pessoas mais jovens têm maior probabilidade de sofrer colisões quando condutores, com baixos níveis de álcool no sangue (Beck et al, 2010).…”

Algumas das razões que podem estar relacionadas a essa fase da vida são a busca de novas experiências, a sensação juvenil e o desafio à estrutura familiar e social 19,20 . Dessa forma, pode surgir um conflito interpessoal, levando os jovens a buscar meios de tentar se ausentar dessa realidade.…”
