Description
This study addresses the pressing issue of the increasing prevalence of alcoholism among young adults, aged 18–30, emphasizing its relevance to public health and societal well-being. A significant proportion of young adults, comprising 52.1%, continued to consume alcohol each month, with 29.2% turning to binge drinking, underscoring the urgency of understanding the underlying causes and consequences of alcoholism. Our research aims to identify the multifaceted contributors to the rise of alcoholism in young adults and explore their intricate interplay. We recognize the pivotal role of social, academic, biological, and cultural factors in shaping drinking behaviors among this demographic. Our methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, integrating insights from medical journals, sociology publications, educational studies, and cultural analyses. This multidisciplinary approach is designed to yield a nuanced understanding of the diverse and complex elements contributing to alcoholism. One key finding we anticipate is the revelation of the significant influence of social and academic factors on alcohol consumption patterns. Specifically, our investigation aims to elucidate how societal attitudes toward work and cultural norms contribute to alcohol misuse among college students. The implications of our research extend beyond academia, with the potential to inform individuals, educators, and policymakers alike. By offering evidence-based insights, we aim to facilitate the development of targeted interventions and preventative measures to mitigate the impact of alcoholism on the young adult population. In conclusion, this study underscores the critical need to address the multifaceted nature of alcoholism among young adults.
