ABSTRACT
This research aims to give knowledge about the
Effects of Alcoholism to the Female Grade 12 students of
Bp. Pueblos Senior High School. The study is conducted
among women in order to know how women may be different
when they tend to drink alcohol beverages if accordingly
there is a contrast with that among men, since alcohol
consumption in our society has a difference among variety
of status variables, such as in any individual’s gender.
In this research, two participants in each academic
strand having eight in total were selected to participate
by purposive random sampling. The data are gathered by
using in-depth interviews to the participants. Using
descriptive-analytic method, the researchers were able to
give complete description and analysis about the effects
of alcoholism to the female students.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Background of the Study
Alcohol consumption in our society has a difference
among variety of status variables, such as in any
individual’s sex, age, ethnicity and many other. The sex,
however, is the strongest variable that predicts the
difference among its two types which are the female and
male individuals; when it comes to their purpose and
meaning of drinking and their attitude in accepting
drunkenness.
Women tend to drink slowly, drink with family
members or at parties or on special occasions, and drink
to celebrate events and dates (Becker & Kronus, 1977).
This style of drinking suggests that drinking is a social
ritual for women, serving to allow women to celebrate and
solidify their bonds with others, and to reinforce and
maintain their social roles (Becker & Kronus, 1977;
Ullman, 1962). In contrast, males drink to denigrate,

2

BUTUAN CITY
deny, or weaken bonds with others, and to violate rules
and roles.
There are many motivations that influence an
individual especially a young adult’s decision to consume
alcohol. According to Sheehan and Ridge (2001), a study
of young students found that the motivations behind binge
drinking for females in particular included socializing
and exploration.
The researchers will conduct this study to assess
the effects of alcoholism to the female Grade 12 students
of Bp. Pueblos Senior High according to the factors that
motivates them to drink. This will help the parents,
teachers and peers to be aware about the drinking
activities engaged by the female students and will have
an idea to set limits with regards of this habit.

BUTUAN CITY
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to seek the answers of the
following:
1. How do the following factors affect the Grade 12
female
students’ choice to engage with alcoholism?
1.1 Socializing
1.2 Exploration
2. How do alcoholism affect the female students in these
areas:
2.1 Physical Aspect

4

BUTUAN CITY
2.2 Health
2.3 Academic Performance
3. What are the possible solutions to lessen alcoholism?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant to the following:
Students. They will be able to expand their
knowledge about the effects of alcoholism. This study may
help them to be aware and be more careful on their
environment that may serve as the huge factor for them to
drink alcohol beverages.
Parents. They will be able to guide their children
and preclude them to engage with alcoholism. Alcoholism
may bring negative effects to their child, if they will
be able to know the effects of alcoholism and engagement
of this behavior, this study may help the parents have an
idea how to discipline their child.
Teachers. They will be able to enlighten the
students and educate them about the effects alcoholism

5

BUTUAN CITY
may bring. This study aids the teachers’ strategy to
educate their students and help them how to cope up with
the difficulties they encounter within the school in
result of the engagement of alcoholism.
School Administrators. They will be able to provide
solutions and ways to lessen the problem of the students’
drinking habits. They may conduct seminars and symposiums
among their students within the school which tackles
about alcoholism that will educate them and will bring
awareness.
Future Researchers. They will be able to deliberate
and point out the needed information in the study’s case.
This study may aid them in gathering data relating to the
topic and may have broad opinions and information based
on the data presented on this study.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study focuses on assessing the effects of
female students’ engagement on alcoholism. It limits to
the female Grade 12 students of Father Saturnino Urios

6

BUTUAN CITY
University BP. Pueblos Senior High A.Y 2018-2019. The
researchers will conduct in-depth interviews to the
selected students. The questions that will be used to
support the study are personally constructed by the
researchers. The data gathered will be analyzed by the
researchers through a content analysis.
The will of the students to participate with the
study is out of the researchers’ control.
Definition of Terms
In order for the readers to have a full understanding,
the researchers would humbly like to define the following
terms according to how each of them is used in the
research paper.
Alcoholism. The topic focused on the study and the
activity engaged by the Grade 12 students that affects
their different aspects.

Socializing. The reason behind alcohol drinking by most
of the participants.
Occasion. The time when most of the students drink
alcohol beverages as the significance of their bond.
Discipline. The possible solution provided by most of the
participants according to their own perspective.
Theoretical Framework
This study is affixed with Albert Bandura’s Social
Learning Theory that explains human behavior in terms of
continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive,
behavioral, and environmental influences.

8

BUTUAN CITY
According to Bandura (1977), most human behavior is
learned observationally through modeling: from observing
others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are
performed, and on later occasions this coded information
serves as a guide for action. As people have the ability
to learn by simply watching others. First, an individual
pays sufficient attention for a successful learning.
Second, the observed information should be stored to be
used at a later date which is crucial in the
observational learning process. Third, the observed
behaviors are reproduced and practiced. Lastly, in
adapting to the behavior, an individual must be motivated
in repeating the learned behavior. Certain activities may
be adapted by an individual into his/her behavior. The
influence of engaging alcoholism may revolve around this
concept of social learning theory. One of the factors
that encourages an individual to drink alcohol is because
of his/her observation and learning from family, friends,
the media, and direct experiences. The idea of engaging
alcoholism because of an individual’s social environment
is supported by the Social Learning Theory, that the

9

BUTUAN CITY
observed behaviors performed in an environment can be
imitated by an individual to start new things.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Alcoholism
Among teenagers, there are likely to be many times
when they feel a certain amount of pressure to drink
alcohol. It may be that all of their friends are doing it
and they seem to be having a good time. Or it may be that
they simply do not want to be left out at the parties and
social gatherings they attend that increasingly seem to
revolve around drinking. For many teenagers, getting
involved with alcohol is simply part of growing up, but

12

BUTUAN CITY
for others, it can quickly become a serious problem.
There are number of factors that make it more likely for
teenagers to develop problems with alcohol or even
progress into full-blown alcoholism. The more aware you
are of these factors, the better your chances of avoiding
problems both during your teen years and later in life
(Teen Problems with Alcoholism, 2018).
According to Murray (2018), alcoholism is an
increasing problem for women. In general, women are more
prone to alcoholism compared to men based on their body
compositions. Because women tend to weigh less than men
and alcohol remains in body water, an average woman can
consume the same amount of alcohol as an average man but
be impacted for more. As a result, female drinkers tend
to experience adverse effects and develop alcohol-related
addictions more quickly than their male counterparts.
Additionally, changing social mores are making it more
acceptable, and in many cases actively encouraging, women
of all ages to drink.
Moreover, Bolyn M. (2017) states that the teenage
years are a time when young people try to form an

13

BUTUAN CITY
identity and fit in with their peers. They’re usually
under pressure to perform at school and at sports.
Getting into college is competitive and many teens are
afraid of disappointing their parents or disappointing
themselves. They may be experiencing problems at home,
with their friends or in romantic relationships.
Teenagers are more impulsive than adults and sometimes
act before considering the consequences. These are some
of the factors that influence teenagers to abuse alcohol.
According to Slade T. et al. (2016), if any one of
us were to attend a social event today, we would expect
women to be as likely to be drinking as men—and even
excessive drinking among females would be unlikely to
attract attention. This is hardly surprising given the
rapid social and economic changes of the past 100 years.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
(2008) stated that women appear to be more vulnerable
than men to many adverse consequences of alcohol use.
Women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the
blood and become more impaired than men after drinking
equivalent amounts of alcohol. Research also suggests

14

BUTUAN CITY
that women are more susceptible than men to alcohol-
related organ damage and to trauma resulting from traffic
crashes and interpersonal violence.
The study of Alcohol Alert (2009) also explains that
each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age
of 21 die as a result of underage drinking; this includes
about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a
result of homicides, 300 from suicide, as well as
hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and
drownings. Yet drinking continues to be widespread among
adolescents, as shown by nationwide surveys as well as
studies in smaller populations. An annual survey of U.S.
youth, three-fourths of 12th graders, more than two-
thirds of 10th graders, and about two in every five 8th
graders have consumed alcohol. And when youth drink they
tend to drink intensively, often consuming four to five
drinks at one time. MTF data show that 11 percent of 8th
graders, 22 percent of 10th graders, and 29 percent of
12th graders had engaged in heavy episodic or binge
drinking within the past two weeks. The National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism [NIAAA] defines

15

BUTUAN CITY
binge drinking as a pattern of drinking alcohol that
brings blood alcohol concentration to a high amount. For
the typical adult, this pattern corresponds to consuming
five or more drinks for men, or four or more drinks for
women in about 2 hours. Research also shows that many
adolescents start to drink at very young ages. In 2003,
the average age of first use of alcohol was about 14,
compared to about 17 1/2 in 1965. People who reported
starting to drink before the age of 15 were four times
more likely to also report meeting the criteria for
alcohol dependence at some point in their lives. In fact,
new research shows that the serious drinking problems
(including what is called alcoholism) typically
associated with middle age actually begin to appear much
earlier, during young adulthood and even adolescence.
There are several explanations about the different
factors that encourage teenagers nowadays to engage with
alcoholism or binge drinking. The result of the study
conducted by The International Centre for Alcohol
Policies concludes that among various groups around the
world who engage with this activity, the main motivation

16

BUTUAN CITY
behind binge drinking behavior for young people are as
follows: it being a social and leisure activity; it is
normally done at celebrations or at the end of the week;
it is a chance to explore adult behaviors; it helps cope
with problems; it is associated with increased freedoms
and it facilitates peer relations (Leigh B. & Lee. 2008).
Yet, the central motivation was always because ‘drinking
is fun’ (p. 58).
Other research shows that the younger children and
adolescents are when they start to drink, the more likely
they will be to engage in behaviors that harm themselves
and others. For example, frequent binge drinkers that is
nearly 1 million high school students nationwide are more
likely to engage in risky behaviors, including using
other drugs such as marijuana and cocaine, having sex
with six or more partners, and earning grades mostly
lower that the passing grade. On a one national survey,
one in four eighth graders reports drinking alcohol
within the past month and 18% of eighth graders have
gotten drunk at least once in the past year (Make a
Difference: Talk to Your Child about Alcohol, Rockville,

17

BUTUAN CITY
MD, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism,
2000). Also, in a recent survey from the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Service’s National Household Survey on
Drug Use and Health reported that about 28% of young
people between the ages of 12 and 20 said that they had
had a drink in the last month, more than 18% of young
people in that age group said that they were binge
drinkers, meaning they had five or more drinks in one
sitting, and 6% said that they were heavy drinkers (Who’s
Using Alcohol. Family Guide, Keeping Youth Mentally
Healthy & Drug Free. U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. 2007). While many people may think that
drinking is less serious than drug use, that is not the
case. Alcohol is a depressant, which means that it slows
body functions, including heartbeat, breathing, and
thinking. Drinking alcoholic beverages can also have
other effects on the body. (Alcohol and the Brain.
Neuroscience for Kids. Eric H. Chudler. 1996-2007; The
Cool Spot).
Alcohol consumption is widespread among teens and
there are various factors that influence them to consume

18

BUTUAN CITY
it. According to the American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry (2006), teenagers who have family
members with a history of substance abuse are at risk for
alcohol and drug abuse. If teens have grown up in a
household where one or both parents abuse alcohol, it
might seem normal or an acceptable behavior to them. They
also have more access to alcohol if their parents are
drinking. Of course, the opposite can occur. A teen can
also be hurt and disgusted by his/her parents’ alcohol
abuse, and refuse to follow that path.
Alcoholism especially on women among different
countries has become a worrying trend; drinking more, and
more often than past generations. It is already shown in
numbers, the impact of the change in drinking patterns.
According to the World Health Organization’s Global
status report on alcohol and health in 2014, 33.1% or one
third of Irish women had engaged in excessive drinking in
the previous month. The Health Research Board’s National
Alcohol Diary Survey found that half (51.4%) of females
started drinking alcohol before the age of 18 years,
22.8% or over one-fifth of female drinkers drank more

19

BUTUAN CITY
than the HSE’s recommended low-risk weekly drinking
guidelines consumed alcohol in the week prior to the
survey, 39% of young women ages 18 to 24 years old was
the highest in this measure, wine was the most common
type of alcohol consumed by women aged over 25 years
(58.9%) and spirits were the most common type of alcohol
consumed by aged 18 to 24 years (59.9%). Also, the Health
Research Board found that 24.1% or one-in-four women
experienced harm as a result of their own alcohol use
while 15.6% of women reported experiencing harm as a
result of someone else’s alcohol use. (Women and Alcohol,
n.d.)
According to Redmond J. (n.d), the cause of
alcoholism in women are varied, and this is a complex
issue to understand. Women may begin drinking to excess
due to stress, a history of sexual abuse or because of
depression or anxiety. Genetics and environment factors
also play a part in whether women become alcoholics.
There are number of reasons why women drink alcohol.
Some of these reasons place women at a higher risk pf
developing alcohol use disorder. They include the

20

BUTUAN CITY
following: Teenage girl may drink to have fun or to
relieve stress. Women that are also survivors of sexual
abuse are more likely to be problem drinkers. Alcohol is
sometimes used to numb painful feelings or thoughts. Some
women also drink alcohol to manage the stress. Women face
a lot of stress and some use of alcohol to relax. (Women
and Alcohol Abuse, n.d)
Women enjoy drinking a little bit of alcohol as much
as anyone else. They may want to celebrate something,
simply feel a bit more sociable or have a drink to unwind
at the end of a long day. The vast majority of women who
drink responsibly, but have some bigger chance of
developing alcoholism. Additionally, alcohol affects
women in different ways. Women usually develop the
diseases and other harmful effects caused by alcohol much
sooner than what a man does, and by drinking less
alcohol. Furthermore, it is known that women are more
likely to use alcohol and other substances to self-
medicate when they experience emotional difficulties such
as stress, anxiety and depression. (Alcoholism in Women,
n.d.).
21

BUTUAN CITY
The differences between genders regarding problem
drinking standards is typically attributed to differences
in height, weight, body co1mposition (women have more
body fat while men have more water weight), and hormones.
However, research has also shown that women also begin
experiencing problems like health issues, mood changes,
and behavioral changes in relation to alcohol use faster
than men do, and typically develop addiction to alcohol
more quickly than men do.
For years, researchers have warned that more and
more women are drinking. And it’s not just a spike in the
number of women abusing alcohol. Today, women are
drinking a significantly higher volume of alcohol. Yes,
many women can now drink men under the table. The reasons
for this increase must be both societal and personal and
involve such diverse factors as increased pressure on
families, peer pressure, curiosity and as well as traumas
such as relationship break-up, bereavement or it could
also be redundancy. According to research studies that,
women are more likely to drink if they have family
members who are alcohol dependent, if they have a history

22

of clinical depression, and have an ability to drink more
alcohol than othe

23

BUTUAN CITY
This study was conducted at Father Saturnino Urios
University BP. Pueblos Senior High School, a Catholic,
Diocesan, and Educational Institution in Butuan City. It
offers Academic Track Courses which are the Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; Accountancy,
Business and Management; Humanities and Social Sciences;
and General Academic Strand in both Grades 11 and 12 with
a total of 22 sections. There are 8 sections in STEM, 8
in ABM, 3 sections in HUMSS and also 3 sections in GAS.
Among all of the enrollees for the A.Y. 2018-2019,
the selected participants of this study are the current
female Grade 12 students of BP. Pueblos Senior High A.Y.
2018-2019.
The researchers have decided to randomly select the
participants from the 4 chosen sections of Grade 12. Each
section, 2 students are to be randomly selected for an
in-depth interview. A selected student may change
depending on her will to participate with the study.
Research Instrument
24

BUTUAN CITY
This study is conducted using in-depth interviews to
know the students’ emotions, feelings, and opinions
regarding to their engagement with alcoholism. The
researchers will prepare a semi-structured questionnaire
with the help of the suggestions and recommendations of
the validators who have expertise on the said study. The
questionnaire will be used as the researchers’ guide in
interviewing the participants.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers sent a letter to ask for permission
to the office of the principal to proceed with the study.
After the principal have signed the letter, the
researchers proceeded to gather the data.
Using the purposive random sampling technique, the
researchers have chosen the participants of the study
which are the Grade 12 students from the sections of St.
Dominic, St. Benedict of Nursia, St. Francis de Sales and
St. Agnes of Rome. Each section have two participants, so

25

BUTUAN CITY
the researchers will conduct interviews to eight female
students in all.
The participants will undergo in-depth interviews
that will be conducted by the researchers using their
semi-structured questionnaires. The data gathered from
the interviews will be analyzed through a content
analysis. Content analysis helps the data collected to be
reduced and simplified. The researchers will structure
the collected qualitative data in a way that satisfies
the accomplishment of research objectives.
Sampling Technique
The participants of the study were from the four
strands of Grade 12 BP. Pueblos Senior High School:
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM),
Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM), Humanities
and Social Sciences (HUMSS), and General Academic Strand
(GAS). The strand STEM has four sections and a total of
one hundred ninety-five (195) students, ABM with 4
sections and one hundred eighty-six (186) students, HUMSS

26

BUTUAN CITY
with 2 sections and ninety-six (96) students and strand
GAS with 2 sections and a total of sixty-nine (69)
students. One section will be selected each strand using
purposive random sampling technique. The selected
sections are St. Dominic for the strand STEM, St. Agnes
of Rome for the strand GAS, St. Benedict of Nursia for
the strand ABM and St. Francis de Sales for HUMSS strand.
In addition, each selected section will have two

MATRIX PRESENTATION
1. How do these following factors affect the Grade
12 female students’ choice to with alcoholism?
1.1 Socializing
Researcher: Do you drink on special occasions with your
family or friends? Why?
Participant 1 St. Dominic – STEM
Response: Yes, always sa both. Kay makagana man basta naa
kay kauban, pero di ko muinom pag ako ra isa, lain siya.

28

BUTUAN CITY
Nindot man gyud pag naa kay kauban kay daghay storya. Kay
kung ikaw ra isa mag-inom mura kag buang mam.
Response: Uhmm... Both. Because drunk thoughts are real,
pinaka-honest nga mga thoughts ang mugawas pag hubog ka.
Participant 3 St. Benedict of Nursia – ABM
Response: Hmm... Friends. Ang kuan man gyud sa inom man
gyud kay dili ang inom ang center sa pagkuan ninyo kundi
ang mga mashare nila na mga storya and then tungod ana
murag mas makuan ang amoang friendship. Like mashare namo
among mga opinions about each other.

Analysis
The data presented indicated how socializing affect
the female Grade 12 students’ choice to engage with
alcoholism. Most of them stated they only drink

30

BUTUAN CITY
occasionally both with their families and friends and
some claimed they drink every day with their peers.
Majority of the participants discussed the same reason
for them to drink alcohol beverages. They stated that the
engagement of alcoholism together with their friends
makes their relationship strong for they are able to
share their honest thoughts and opinions to each other.
The participants also claimed that during occasions with
the presence of alcohol, the conversation and fun is the
center of the session.
1.2 Exploration

Analysis
The data presented showed a similarity among the
participants’ opinion and approach to alcoholism. The
participants stated that they drink alcohol beverages to
experience its different effects including getting drunk
and dizzy as well as the behavior they are curious about
out of drunkenness. Majority of the participants engage

33

BUTUAN CITY
with alcoholism because they want to try new things out
of their curiosity.
2. How do alcoholism affect the female students in
these areas:
2.1 Physical Aspect

performances. Students are responsible enough to realize
that there should be a balancing relationship between
their habit and their responsibility that they should be
taken account of.

solutions do you find to lessen alcoholism?

problems.

kanang mag-inom bitaw og sobra kuan limitations lang para
di makadaot sa health.

pag-inom inom. Pareha anang mubasa og libro, basa og
Bible, tan awg K-drama unya laag, kaon.

BUTUAN CITY
Albert Bandura which explained that the observed
behaviors performed in an environment can be imitated by
an individual to start new things. The integral
components in this study are the effects of alcoholism to
the female students and the participants of the study
which are the Grade 12 students of BP. Pueblos Senior
High from sections St. Dominic for the strand STEM, St.
Agnes of Rome for the strand GAS, St. Benedict of Nursia

The female Grade 12 students of Bp. Pueblos Senior

45

BUTUAN CITY
different effects in different aspects and areas. In
terms of socializing, all of the participants have agreed
to engage with alcoholism with people for fun and bond.
Majority of the participants also have declared that they
are in a state of curiosity, which is why they drink

new things. And when it comes to their physical and
health aspect, half have find changes to themselves due
to alcoholism and half have also stated there are none.
And with regards to academics, alcoholism does not
significantly affect their performance since majority

school because of their habit. The provided solutions
according to their own perspectives include discipline,
self-control, setting limits and diverting attention.
Conclusions
On the basis of the provided results from the
gathered data of this study, the following conclusions
were drawn:
46

BUTUAN CITY
The factors such as socializing exploration affect
the Grade 12 female students’ choice to engage with
alcoholism.
When it comes to Socializing, students are more open
and enjoyed when they are to drink with people that is
why they prefer to drink with their friends, not just
because for fun but also to strengthen their bond.
In Exploration, students are also curious about what
alcoholism may bring. Which is why they try to enter the
world of alcoholism engagement.
Alcoholism also affect most of the female students
in the areas of their Physical Aspect, Health and
Academic Performance, though it cannot be concluded
severely as it may be. The effects can only be determined
depending on how the students handle their control and
how often they are to engage with this habit.
The possible solutions to lessen alcoholism
according to the majority of the students are discipline,
self-control, setting limits and diverting attention.
Recommendations
47

BUTUAN CITY
On the basis of the mentioned findings and
conclusions, the researchers humbly offer these
recommendations to the following:
Students. They should be able to know how to control and
discipline themselves when it comes to their drinking
habit. Their responsibility as students and as teenagers
should be balanced with their engagement with alcoholism.
Students should also be responsible when it comes to
choosing their peers.
Parents. They should always monitor their children on the
activities they are involved in. Parents should always
know what their children are up to. If known that their
child is under the influence of too much alcohol, they
should not tolerate them but rather discipline them.
Teachers. They should include to their teachings the
proper ways of behaving as teenagers. Teachers must be
able to understand their students and help them by
guiding them and monitoring them in school. Teachers must
also be good at giving advices to help students become
more enlightened.
48

BUTUAN CITY
School Administrators. They should conduct seminars or
symposiums in their school for the students to have more
knowledge about alcoholism and be aware about the effects
it may bring. They should also nurture the students and
help them preserve their talents and skills by giving
relevant activities to them that can avoid the students
to have much time for fun by drinking alcohol beverages.
Future Researchers. They should hopefully conduct a
research that is more extensive with regards to the topic
and dig deeper information about the effects of
alcoholism and use a large scale of time upon conducting
the study to make it reliable and successful.
