ABSTRACT
Alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence among the youth has become a global burden
hindering development, imparting high expenditures on treatment and counseling the
victims of alcoholism as well as the accelerated domestic violence and its effects.
Uganda in general and Bushenyi Ishaka in particular alcohol constitutes an important
role for road traffic accidents and other related crimes. To assess the factors influencing
the youth to alcoholism, descriptive cross sectional study design quantitative in nature
was carried out. Using convenience sampling a total of 96 respondents were recruited
in to the study and all of the 96 questionnaires were returned completely filled. Majority
(71%) strongly agreed that social deprivation was a leading cause to alcoholism among
the youth. Other identified risks included personal characteristics (73%), mental
problems (63%) and peer influence and exposure being supported by 67.7% to be a
contributor to alcoholism among youth.
It is recommended that controlling advertisement through the media, hiking prices for
the alcoholic drinks and putting laws governing alcohol consumption among the youth
would reduce the trend.
