E-book Technical Report on Alcohol 2021
According to the 2018/2019 survey on Drug use in Secondary Education in Spain (ESTUDES), alcohol consumption is widespread among secondary education students. Almost 80% (77.9%) reported consuming alcohol at least once in their lifetime (76.3% in men and 79.4% in women), 77.5% consumed it sometime during the past year (74.1% in men and 77.5% in women), and 58.5% reported doing so sometime in the past month (57.2% in men and 59.8% in women). It is worth highlighting that the prevalence of consumption for these time periods is, for the most part, higher in girls than in boys. The average age of onset of consumption in both sexes is 14. In 2018/2019, a spike in acute alcohol intoxication (drunkenness) and binge drinking was seen across all age groups and both sexes. Of all the students who drank alcohol in the past month, half (55.5%) admitted to binge drinking and almost half to getting drunk, with this percentage being higher in girls than in boys (46.5% and 42.3%, respectively). Worth underscoring is that among minors (14-17 years of age), 47.1% of the boys and 52.3% of the girls have been drunk at some point in their lives. In 2019, according to the European School Survey on Alcohol and other Drugs (ESPAD for its Spanish acronym), the prevalence of alcohol intake among students, ages 15 and 16, in Spain was 78% “ever in lifetime” and 47% “in the past 30 days.” Whereas these percentages were similar to the European average, the Spanish prevalence of binge drinking “in the past 30 days” was higher than the European average (17% vs. 13%, respectively).
