Abstract

Epidemiological data available in Spain highlights the changes that are occurring in patterns of alcohol consumption in adolescent populations. These are especially significant with regard to reducing the gap in intensive consumption of alcohol by girls. This article aims to describe certain aspects relating to the gender system that show what is happening in relation to alcohol consumption in adolescent populations. A qualitative study based on focus groups with girls and boys of 14-17 years was designed for this purpose. The speeches of the 66 Andalusian teenagers in the study were processed by means of a content analysis procedure. The results highlight different aspects shared between boys and girls in relation to consumption, intensive consumption experiences and risk control in alcohol consumption. The results are discussed in respect of the role of alcohol in the definition and reinforcement of certain values and meanings attributed to the masculine and the feminine identity and especially with regard to rupture processes within the gender system caused by practices of intensive alcohol consumption in public space by girls.
