The subjects for the study consist of six hundred students randomly selected from the five schools in the institution. The instrument for the study was a self constructed and administered questionnaire.

Parental influence, peer group influence, readily availability of products, as well as advertisement on print and news medial influence alcoholic usage of the students. It was also found out that students were not aware of the harmful effects of alcohol usage on their health.
