Abstract: 

The purpose of the present study was to know the relation of personal factors such as age, sex, schooling, religiosity and self-efficacy with alcohol consumption of primary and secondary students. The sample made up of 150 students from Primary and Secondary schools, both genders, the sampling was stratified by proportional distribution to the size of the sample. A Personal Data Card and three instruments, The Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), Drinking Refusal Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire-Revised in an Adolescent Sample (DRSEQ‐RA) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test AUDIT. Among the main results found that there is a statistically significant negative relation between self-efficacy (rs=-.375, p=.001) and schooling (rs=-.174, p=.033), with alcohol consumption (measured through AUDIT). It is emphasized that the personal factors that predict the probability of alcohol consumption are sex factor (B=-.092, p=.003) and self-eficacy (B=-.017, p=.039), with an explained variance of 13.8%. The results of the present study show as age, schooling and self-efficacy are related with alcohol consumption of primary and secondary students. What is worth mentioning in this study, elementary students were included.
