THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Background of the Study
Students ages 17 and below are prohibited to drink alcoholic beverages, and it
is accordance to the law, “The liquor Control Reform Act 1998”. It was stated in the
article that the legal drinking age is 18 years old but it is also stated that young people
are allowed to drink alcoholic beverages in a private home with the adult consent, but
it is not surprising that some of the minors are breaking these laws and most of them
are high school students. High school students drinking habit is not surprising and
most of them are brave enough to drink in public not minding the consequences that
they would face if local police officers would caught them red handed. But not only
they are brave enough to drink in public but they are also brave enough to bring
alcoholic beverages inside the school campus. There are also students that are
caught by their advisers for coming to school drunk. Coming to school drunk is not an
attitude that students should possessed because it does not only affect the way they
interact in a class but also it affects their performance in class.

Review of Related Literature
According to Samantha Wells (2009) heavy drinking prior to going has emerged
as a common and celebrated practice among young adults around the world. Apparent
motivations are: (i) to avoid paying for high priced drinks at commercial drinking
establishments; (ii) to achieve drunkenness and enhance and extend the night out;
and (iii) to socialize with friends, reduce social anxiety are enhance male group
bonding before going out. Limited existing research on pre- drinking suggest that it is
associated with heavy drinking and harmful consequences. We argue the polices
focused upon reducing drinking in licensed premises may have the unintended
consequence of displacing drinking to pre-drinking environment possibly resulting in
greater harms. And she also stated that effective policy and prevention for drinking in
licensed premises requires a comprehensive approach that takes in account the
drinking occasion (not just drinking that occurs in the licensed environment), as well
as the determined drunkenness goals of some young people.
In the area of academics, there is a great deal of research that indicates a
relationship between alcohol use and negative academic performance (Perkins,
2002). Among 41,581 students responding to the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey in
representative mail and classroom administrations at 89 institutions holding FIPSE
drug prevention program grants nationwide in 1992-94, 22% indicated that they had
performed poorly on a test or project (26% of drinkers), and 28% had missed a class
during the last year (33% or onethird of drinkers) due to alcohol or other drug use.
(Perkins, 2002, p. 92)

The 1996 Core Survey also showed an association between self-reported
grades and the number of drinks per week students consume. “A” students reported
drinking an average of 3.4 drinks a week, while “D” and “F” students drank an average
of 9.8 drinks a week (Perkins, 2002). Results from the 1998 College Alcohol Studies
showed similar negative effects on academics from alcohol use when a representative
sample of over 14,000 students showed that 24% reported missing a class within that
academic year due to drinking and 19% reported getting behind in their studies as a
result of alcohol use (Perkins, 2002). A recent study of 10,000 students from 14
Minnesota universities confirms that alcohol abuse has a negative impact on
academics, with binge drinking linked to decreasing GPAs from 3.31 to 2.99
(“Smoking, Drinking Harmful,” 2008). Males and females who binge drink are 3 times
more likely to get behind in school, miss class due to alcohol, and receive a lower
grades because of drinking (Miley & Frank, 2006). Because of the impracticality of
obtaining transcripts for students who participate in research, self reported grades are
often used for the purposes of research (Kuncel, Crede & Thomas, 2005). Cassady
(2001) reports that though imperfect, self-reported grades are adequate for research
and practical purposes.
Results indicated that students who were involved in community service,
volunteerism, and religious organizations were less likely to report alcohol abuse, and
that the more time they spent in the activities the fewer number of alcohol related
harms were reported. In contrast, students involved in Greek organizations and
varsity athletic programs reported greater consumption and more problems related to
that consumption (Theall et al., 2009).

Statement of the problem
This study aims to determine the rate of awareness among the Grade 12
HUMSS students of Agusan National High School on the Anti-Underage
Drinking Act. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following problems:
1. Are the HUMSS students aware of the Anti-Underage Drinking Act?
2. What are the implications of Anti-Underage Drinking Act?
Hypothesis
The researchers hypothesized that the Grade 12 Humanities and Social
Sciences Students are aware on the Anti-Underage Drinking Act.
