“…However, this shift in consumption patterns does not yet appear to correspond to a shift in social valuation. Socially, female consumption continues to be disapproved of, as we have seen in the comments of our respondents that agree with the results of other studies [ 40 , 66 ]. This social disapproval occurs especially if consumption is disproportionate or if it includes sexual behaviour usually disapproved of in women, such as a desire to engage in casual sex.…”

“…Therefore, consumption not only implies growing up; it is also considered relevant for belonging to a peer group and for having fun, so that consumption at these ages dominates leisure and socialisation spaces. Indeed, group pressure and social contagion appear in many of the accounts collected and in other research studies [ 22 , 37 , 40 , 66 ].…”

The epidemiological information available in Spain and the Community of Madrid highlights two relevant facts regarding alcohol consumption: an increase in binge drinking in teenagers and a reduction/reversal of the gender gap, particularly at young ages. This article aims to describe some of the factors related to alcohol use in teenagers, especially those related to gender and risk perception. A qualitative study was designed with semi-structured interviews and a discussion group with students from the city of Madrid aged 14 to 18 years. A descriptive analysis of the content of the replies of 28 teenagers was conducted. The results show that alcohol consumption has an identity component, both in terms of transition to adulthood and gender role performance. Consumption is also associated with risks, especially those determined by gender inequality, which teenagers learn to manage as a means of survival in nightlife. Preventive campaigns typically lack a gender perspective and a focus on risk prevention. To reduce the prevalence of consumption and associated risks, these strategies need to be reformulated with a gender perspective.

“…In these participants, a growing interest can be seen in sharing references to alcohol consumption on SNSs and sending reckless text messages when under the influence of alcohol, without a thought about the possible consequences they may have for themselves or for others. This normalization is reflected in other studies (Pavón-Benítez et al, 2021;Perez et al, 2021).…”

“…In our culture, alcohol consumption is most closely linked to certain environments, leisure time, having fun and going to parties (Pavón‐Benítez et al., 2021). Use has become so normalized and associated with social success that when young people get together, they share content related to alcohol consumption on social media, as has been observed in the participants in this study.…”

Introduction:The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between Instagram, alcohol consumption and the impact on adolescent health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design and sample:A qualitative study was carried out with 13 focus groups, involving 38 interviews. The fieldwork was conducted between January and December 2021 using a semi-structured script with three main categories. The research was carried out by a team specialized in adolescent risks and qualitative research. Results: Three main categories were established: (1) The COVID-19 pandemic, Instagram and Risky Drinking, (2) Risk prevention and control strategies and (3) Effects on health.The participants (n = 118) reported greater alcohol consumption among Instagram users, either because this social media platform was used to spread the practice of alcohol consumption, or because they were affected by the content posted by digital marketers, Instagrammers, and/or contacts on Instagram. More than half of the sample (67.8%) had health problems (loss of control, headaches, difficulty in breathing, trembling, anxiety attacks, vomiting, tiredness, blackouts, and absence seizures), of whom 35% required urgent attention from their parents and/or the health services.Conclusions: Further research is needed to prevent risky drinking related to the use of social networking sites (SNSs) and its main health effects.

“…The results of recent studies show how the use of social networks such as Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp are directly related to the increase of social attitudes and norms that tolerate and promote a positive perception of alcohol consumption among young people (Vranken et al 2020). Likewise, a study that brought these dynamics together in villages of Extremadura in Spain (Pavón‐Benítez, Romo‐Avilés, and Sánchez‐González 2021) concludes that young rural people are not excluded from these models of leisure and the public exhibition of alcohol consumption that is the current trend; rather, these affect both cities and villages.…”

Eliminating Stereotypes: Villages as Desirable Spaces for Partying among Spanish Youth^☆

Most of the research on rural youth has focused on the material conditions that cause their migration to cities, but it has not tended to address sociocultural dimensions, such as those concerning leisure and what might condition the processes of migration among young people. The aim of this study is to contrast the discourse and representations that young people have regarding leisure with the festive practices that they carry out in Spanish villages. The fieldwork consisted of 13 discussion groups and 38 in-depth interviews (N = 118), with participants aged between 15 and 24 years. The results show that: (1) young people construct their idea of partying through dominant, dichotomous and unequal rural-urban representations, demonstrating the presence of traditional stereotypes around rurality; (2) the village becomes desirable as a place for partying at specific times of the year, such as local festivals; (3) the practices of rural youth call into question this normative imaginary, as is also shown by their adaptation, belonging and agency in the construction and management of leisure. Getting rid of stereotypes about rurality and creating positive thinking about the leisure possibilities in villages can lead young people to see it as a space for opportunities and personal development.☆ The data form part of the project, "Etnografía digital feminista en los espacios recreativos de uso y abuso de drogas entre los jóvenes" ["Feminist digital ethnography in the recreational spaces of the use and abuse of drugs among young people"] (PID2019-105122RB-I00/State Research Agency
