Alcohol consumption is highly prevalent in university students. Early detection in future health professionals is important: their consumption might not only influence their own health but may determine how they deal with the implementation of preventive strategies in the future. The aim of this paper is to detect the prevalence of risky alcohol consumption in first- and last-degree year students and to compare their drinking patterns.Risky drinking in pharmacy students (n=434) was assessed and measured with the AUDIT questionnaire (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test). A comparative analysis between college students from the first and fifth years of the degree in pharmacy, and that of a group of professors was carried to see differences in their alcohol intake patterns.Risky drinking was detected in 31.3% of students. The highest prevalence of risky drinkers, and the total score of the AUDIT test was found in students in their first academic year. Students in the first academic level taking morning classes had a two-fold risk of risky drinking (OR=1.9 (IC 95%1.1-3.1)) compared with students in the fifth level. The frequency of alcohol consumption increases with the academic level, whereas the number of alcohol beverages per drinking occasion falls.Risky drinking is high during the first year of university. As alcohol consumption might decrease with age, it is important to design preventive strategies that will strengthen this tendency.
饮酒在大学生中非常普遍。对未来的健康专业人员进行早期检测很重要：他们的饮酒行为不仅可能影响自身健康，还可能决定他们未来如何应对预防策略的实施。本文旨在检测本科一年级和最后一年学生中危险饮酒的流行情况，并比较他们的饮酒模式。使用AUDIT问卷（酒精使用障碍识别测试）对434名药学专业学生的危险饮酒情况进行评估和测量。对药学专业本科一年级和五年级的大学生以及一组教授进行了比较分析，以观察他们饮酒模式的差异。31.3%的学生被检测出有危险饮酒行为。危险饮酒者的最高患病率以及AUDIT测试的总分出现在大学一年级的学生中。与五年级学生相比，大学一年级上午上课的学生危险饮酒的风险高出两倍（OR=1.9（95%置信区间1.1-3.1））。饮酒频率随学业水平的提高而增加，而每次饮酒场合的酒精饮料数量则减少。大学一年级危险饮酒情况严重。由于饮酒量可能会随着年龄增长而减少，因此制定能够强化这种趋势的预防策略很重要。
