Abstract
Consumption of low-alcohol products by young people is due to the erroneous opinion that they are safe for health. However, against the background of taking low-alcohol drinks, addiction quickly forms and complications develop, including lipid metabolism disorders. Studies show that consumption of low-concentration ethanol-containing drinks changes the structure and ratio of serum lipoproteins. Changes in serum lipids provoked by alcohol intake are involved in the pathogenesis of a number of chronic non-infectious diseases, including alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. According to the data of an anonymous online survey, which involved 155 young people aged 17–20 (18±0.76) years, 17.4% of them consume low-concentration alcohol more than once a week, and 5.8% consume both low-alcohol drinks and strong alcohol daily. Comprehensive efforts are needed to prevent the spread of alcohol addiction among children and young people: raising the age at which it is possible to purchase alcoholic beverages, increasing penalties in the area of illegal alcohol trafficking, and working in the area of anti-alcohol propaganda.
