SAMMENDRAG
Hvorfor er alkohol så populært blant unge mennesker? Dette viktige spørsmålet har vært gjenstand for få
empiriske studier. Forskningsbasert kunnskap om alkoholens positive sider og forsterkende egenskaper er
derfor av begrenset omfang. Derimot har tallrike undersøkelser fokusert på ulike skadevirkninger som følge
av tenåringsdrikking. Resultatene av denne forskningen har bidratt til å understreke behovet for en aktiv
rusforebyggende innsats. Innsikt i alkoholens opplevde goder er imidlertid nødvendig for å kunne utvikle
effektive forebyggingsstrategier. På denne bakgrunn er søkelyset i artikkelen rettet mot psykososiale funksjoner
ved unge menneskers drikkevaner. Spørsmål knyttet til gruppepress og modell-læring vil også bli berørt.
Hensikten er å formidle sentrale funn fra nyere forskning på feltet. Oppsummeringsvis tyder resultatene på at
alkohol har en særlig appell til ungdom som er veltilpassede og sosialt anlagte. Samtidig ser det ut til at
drikking kan bidra til å fremme utviklingsprosessen i ungdomstida, men at det primært handler om indirekte
effekter. Hvilke implikasjoner de ulike funnene har mht. forebygging, er skissert i avslutningsdelen.

Teenage alcohol use from the perspective of psychological development.
Nor J Epidemiol

Why is alcohol so popular among young people? So far, few studies have addressed this important question.
The body of scientific research on the positive and reinforcing aspects of drinking is accordingly of limited
extent. Numerous studies have focused on the harmful effects of teenage alcohol use and the findings clearly
underscore the importance of primary prevention. Knowledge about the perceived advantages of alcohol use
is needed to develop effective preventive programs, however. On this background, the article focuses on
psychosocial functions of youthful drinking. Findings from recent research regarding the link between alcohol
use and various indicators of adolescent adjustment are reviewed. In conclusion, empirical evidence indicates
that alcohol has a special appeal to well-adjusted adolescents. Indirectly, drinking may also promote
sociability and psychological development in young people. The article also discusses the importance of peer
pressure and social modelling. Finally, some implications for preventive efforts are outlined.
