However, studies about this theme haven t gone deep in the nowadays reality these girls are living in. This study aimed at comprehending the aspects of the relation between girls and alcohol, starting from the point that exaggerated consumption indicates introductory rituals for some groups, making social relations easier and becoming a sociability factor. To give this study some support, a questionnaire was applied to 1028 female teenagers, between 12 and 18 years old, students in private schools in Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte. The context chosen for the development of the study - private schools -, arose from the notion that the majority of the data collection carried out about alcohol and other psychotropic drugs aim at public school students. The instrument used was divided in two parts, one that treated about the first contact with alcohol (experimentation), and other that points to the current relation with alcoholic beverages, with 27 closed questions but nevertheless with available space for manifestation like if other; which?, applied collectively in classrooms. The data received a statistic treatment from SPSS and showed that the first contact with alcoholic beverage happens in domestic environment, having parents and friends as companions, very precociously, around 10 years of age, as curiosity. At this moment, Ice drink is the most consumed beverage. The main reason that leads them to drink is to pass the time in parties, and they don t drink alone (93% of students researched), what gives alcohol this recreational and socializing characteristic. They do consider alcohol a kind of drug, but are not afraid of getting addicted. People that drink usually show to be extroverted, they get happier (40,3%) and are not shy at all (29,4%), have attitudes of moral character, like to get involved with unknown boys (18,5%), get numb (9,9%), or get sad (1,9%). They label as vulgar the girls that drink, depending on the amount, and to be stimulated by the boys to drink. The study shows that systematic interventions of the school are necessary, once it is an institution that should care about education and personality traits of children and adolescents, as well as the important role of the psychologist in this context. Besides, it claims the society to get effectively involved with the public policies that already exist / A experi?ncia como psic?loga escolar permitiu perceber que express?es do tipo "fiquei um lixo no churrasco da turma", "fizemos uma resenha interna s? de meninas e ficamos todas embriagadas", se fazem presentes de um modo constante nas conversas das estudantes do Ensino Fundamental e do M?dio, sinalizando uma preocupante incid?ncia do consumo do ?lcool em adolescentes do sexo feminino. Contudo, os estudos sobre o tema ainda n?o se detiveram na realidade agora vivenciada pelas meninas.

Indicou que o primeiro contato com a bebida alco?lica tem se dado em ambientes dom?sticos, em companhia de pais e amigos, de forma bastante precoce, por volta dos 10 anos de idade, por curiosidade. Em rela??o ao consumo atual, a bebida mais consumida ? a ice; o principal motivo que as levam a beber ? para passar o tempo ; a principal ocasi?o s?o as festas e elas n?o bebem sozinhas (93% do universo pesquisado), configurando o car?ter socializador e recreativo do ?lcool. Consideram o ?lcool uma droga, mas n?o demonstram medo de se viciar.Os comportamentos que mais destacam nas amigas que bebem est?o relacionados a desinibi??o, do tipo ficam mais alegres (40,3%) e perdem a timidez (29,4%), e atitudes de car?ter moral, como ficam com qualquer menino (18,5%), ficam tontas (9,9%), ou ficam tristes (1,9%). Acham vulgar as meninas beberem, dependendo da quantidade, e recebem est?mulo dos amigos para que bebam.
