This dissertation examines the social context of underage drinking
in terms of crime, mental disorder and social disability. The
perception of risk and awareness of Maltese young people plays a
significant role in the study. Through this study, it was found out
that underage drinking in Malta is a problem and that students have
misconception about Laws on alcohol. It was also established that
the Law in Malta is neither being supported by the community nor
strictly enforced. The study has reviewed the literature, which
documented the importance, nature and extent of underage alcohol
use in Malta. During the course of study, it was determined that
young people are subjected to excessive pressure from school,
parents, peers and/or other social reasons. The literature review
has shown that if a person abuses alcohol, he or she might become
an alcoholic. Whilst drinking may be seen as normative and
socialised behaviour, binge drinking in young people is linked to
risk-taking, sex, fights, accidental injuries, suicide, deaths and
crime. The literature also revealed that the younger a person
begins to drink, the greater the chance he or she will develop a
problem with alcohol later in life. Based on the study being
conducted, suggestions and recommendations are proposed on the wide
range of strategies - from stricter enforcement of the Laws,
relating to the sale of alcohol to minors; to prevention,
treatment, rehabilitation and after-care.
