Abstract

This work offers a theoretical reflection upon the specific characteristics of alcohol consumption in Spanish adolescents and their implications when designing preventive programmes. Based on the analysis of a sociocultural context that views adolescent consumption as normal, the influence of advertising strategies for alcoholic beverages that coexist alongside governmental, regional and school campaigns aimed preventing consumption, and the specificity of a consumption that takes place primarily at weekends, with friends, for fun and often as an increasingly deliberate attempt to reach a state of alcohol intoxication, we present several different arguments outlining the need to reorient the design of preventive interventions towards giving a more important role to the resources that adolescents themselves have, in order to be able to better deal with the influence of the various socialising agents.
