Abstract

The paper attempted to establish the impact of alcohol consumption on cognitive and academic performance of students at David Livingstone College of education. The study used a qualitative type of research based primarily on materials collected by researchers from various literatures and the observation method was used to elicit data pertaining to student’s characteristics, behaviour and attitudes towards the academic performance. This study revealed that alcohol consumption by students at David Livingstone College of education has a direct adverse effect on the cognitive and academic functioning of the students as well as other characteristics of their social life. The study has also revealed that students who come from homes where parents drink alcohol are more likely to abuse alcohol than those whose parents do not drink and are very strict with their children when it comes to beer drinking.
