GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
At the begining tolerated but now alarm among
population
Abusive consumption associated with inadequate
behaviours such as noise, fights, damages,
residuals, etc
Health, social and economic costs of
alcohol-related problems impose a sustantial
burden on society
Family and School are key factors
There is not a concrete reason but the
combination of many
It is a problem with a no easy answer but we have
to try to solve it
