Briefings

Recent interviews with three young people who have stopped or significantly reduced alcohol consumption reveal that their decision to abstain is driven by social pressure rather than personal choice. The study, conducted by the P3, highlights a shift in drinking habits among youth in Brazil, noting that while alcohol remains the most consumed substance, the trend toward abstinence is growing. The findings suggest that societal expectations are a primary factor influencing these lifestyle changes.

Key points
