Based on a survey conducted in high schools in three countries—the Czech Republic, Italy, and Slovenia—this study investigates the factors influencing alcohol consumption among high school students. Our analysis is based on four linear regression models, with the dependent variable, Alcohol Consumption—one model for each country and a joint model for all countries. The results show that there are large differences as far as drinking habits and patterns across countries are concerned. Whereas the patterns of the Czech students are similar to those of Slovenian students, the behavior of the Italians shows more distinctive features. Factors positively related to alcohol consumption include cigarette smoking, marijuana consumption, time spent with friends (positive relations), sport activities, art engagement, and gender-female (negative relation). As factors regarding students’ psychological state are insignificant, it may be concluded that alcohol consumption among teenagers from our sample is a phenomenon that is insensitive to changes in character but sensitive to social environment and life circumstances. Our results can serve as a map showing various drinking patterns. Applicable results can be deduced.

三个欧洲国家与高中生饮酒相关的因素

基于在三个国家（捷克共和国、意大利和斯洛文尼亚）的高中进行的调查，本研究调查了影响高中生饮酒的因素。我们的分析基于四个线性回归模型，其中包含因变量酒精消费——每个国家一个模型，所有国家一个联合模型。结果表明，就各国的饮酒习惯和模式而言，存在很大差异。捷克学生的模式与斯洛文尼亚学生相似，而意大利学生的行为表现出更鲜明的特点。与饮酒呈正相关的因素包括吸烟、吸食大麻、与朋友共度的时间（正相关）、体育活动、艺术参与和性别女性（负相关）。由于与学生心理状态相关的因素不显着，因此可以得出结论，我们样本中青少年饮酒是一种对性格变化不敏感但对社会环境和生活环境敏感的现象。我们的结果可以作为显示各种饮酒模式的地图。可以推导出适用的结果。
