MOTIVATIONS BEHIND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND THE INCREASING USE OF IT BY YOUTH IN PUNJAB

Mohit Bhatara and Sushil Kumar

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Alcohol use among young people is shaped not only by how much they drink but by what they expect drinking to achieve. This work synthesizes different peer-reviewed sources published in order to examine Cooper’s four-factor model of drinking motives, comprising enhancement, social, coping, and conformity motives, together with motives for nonuse, and to consider what this evidence can and cannot establish about youth in Punjab, India.
