Résumé :
The percentage of adolescents who do not drink alcohol seems to have increased in the Western world in the past years. In some contexts, as the norm among young people is to drink alcohol, young non-drinkers may be marginalized and/or stigmatized. Despite the publication of a few studies conducted in other countries on the reasons or experiences of young people who do not drink alcohol, there seems to be a gap in the literature about to what extent these reasons explain why adolescents drink less. Moreover, given that alcohol consumption is cultural, it is important to understand young people’s experiences and motivations to abstain from alcohol in a context such as Switzerland.
The objectives of this qualitative research are:
To explore how young people define the term 'abstinence';
To explore their opinions on the Dry January challenge;
To assess the reasons why some young people decide not to drink alcohol;
To assess the advantages and disadvantages of non-consumption of alcohol;
To understand how young non-drinkers live their choice and how they are perceived/treated by their peers;
To identify strategies used by non-drinkers to avoid alcohol use while still socializing with their friends.
