摘要：Introduction. The dynamic rise of alcohol consumption in adolescents is a matter of serious concern, requiring frequentlyupdated monitoring. By such means, it is possible to optimise preventative measures for dealing with this problem.Objective. To estimate the magnitude/amount and frequency of alcohol consumed by middle and high school pupils inPoland, including the circumstances when alcohol was first drunk.Materials and Methods. A randomised survey was performed throughout Poland on middle school (junior high school)pupils, (n=9360) in 2009, followed by both middle and high school pupils in 2011 (n=7971). The questionnaire was devisedby the Polish Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS).Results. A strikingly sharp increase in alcohol consumption (29%) was observed in subjects between 2009 – 2011. In thelatter year, 1 month prior to survey, respectively, 50% and 71% of middle school and high school pupils drank alcohol, andcorrespondingly, 36% and 63% of these pupils ever became intoxicated/drunk.Conclusions. 1) Adolescent alcohol consumption increases with age and is highest in girls. Monitoring as well as in-depthanalysis thus becomes necessary. 2) Systematic monitoring and analysis of changing healthy lifestyle behaviour should beused for taking the necessary corrective action. This should happen concurrently and consist of planned health educationprogrammes, including health promotion
