substance abuse (abuse of tobacco, drugs, etc.).

Alcohol is an addictive drink that is made from yeast and sugar, there are also individual

sources of sugar that can process different types of alcohol. Alcohol can be perceived as

a psychoactive drug, a drug that affects the mental processes and mind (Lautieri, 2019).

Smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol have a large connection with each other

(Batel et al., 1995; Burton and Tiffany, 1997). Students that smoke tobacco has a high

opportunity of drinking alcohol as both of these substances are addictive. Countless

people have an idea about the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco in the body, whether

non-smokers, non-alcoholics, and even smokers and alcoholics perceived their effect as

harmful (Hermand et al., 1995, 1997, 2000). Drinking alcohol has been a common

solution for some students whenever they experience negative emotions (i.e. sadness,

anxiety, and hopelessness).

Based on Hellmich (2013), 24.7% of boys and 15% of girls engage at different

kinds of binge drinking. Binge drinking is defined as a practice of intaking a large quantity

of alcohol in a single session of in a particular period, specifically drinking five or more

drinks at a time for men and four for women. This firmly discussed the statistics of how

people are open about excessive consumption of alcohol.
