Alcohol consumption in the under-18 age group has been growing in recent years, leading to various health risks. Considering the problems this habit brings, the present study contributes to the literature dedicated to categorizing different types of drinkers. The study objective is to verify the factors associated with the intensity of alcohol use among elementary school students in the year 2015. The dataset came from the National Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE). The applied methodology was a logit model of sequential response (continuation ratio). The main results are as follows. It was found that being female is associated with a lesser chance of having consumed alcohol in the reference period, however, with a greater chance of consuming five or more doses. Economic condition and formal paid employment are positively associated with alcohol consumption, which increases with the progression of the student's age. The number of friends who drink alcohol and consumption of products originating from tobacco and illicit drugs, are good predictors of alcohol use by students. The time spent practicing physical activities increased the chance of male students consuming alcohol. The results showed that, in general, the characteristics associated with different alcohol consumption profiles remain similar but differ between genders. Intervention strategies aimed at preventing alcohol consumption by minors are suggested in order to reduce the negative effects of substance use and abuse.
近年来，18 岁以下人群的饮酒量呈上升趋势，导致了各种健康风险。考虑到这种习惯带来的问题，本研究有助于文献中对不同类型饮酒者进行分类。本研究的目的是验证与 2015 年小学生饮酒强度相关的因素。该数据集来自全国青少年学校健康调查（PeNSE）。所采用的方法是顺序反应（连续比）的逻辑模型。主要结果如下。研究发现，女性饮酒的可能性较小，但在参考期内更有可能饮用五杯或更多剂量的酒。经济状况和有酬正式就业与饮酒呈正相关，且随着学生年龄的增长而增加。饮酒的朋友数量和消费烟草和非法药物产品是学生饮酒的良好预测指标。参加体育活动的时间增加了男学生饮酒的机会。结果表明，一般来说，与不同饮酒模式相关的特征仍然相似，但在性别之间存在差异。建议采取干预策略，防止未成年人饮酒，以减少物质滥用的负面影响。
