Abstract
This article describes preferred sources of support after having drinking problems, reasons for drinking and the social context of drinking of 1458 Israeli adolescents in the North of Israel in winter 1992. The article analyses the results by gender, grade and place of living (large city, small or developing town, kibbutz, religious settlement). Most teenagers drink with same-age friends, their preferred location of drinking is the pub and enjoyment is their most prevalent reason for drinking. The majority of the sample chose parents as the main source of support in cases of having problems with alcohol. The study provides pointers towards environmental approaches in the prevention of problem drinking.
