Abstract

Liquor is an alcoholic drink that may get someone addicted to drinking it. Alcohol liquor is a pungent liquid. The person who is addicted to liquor is called an alcoholic. According to Pittman & Reuters (2006), liquor is a drug of choice among youth. Many young people experience the consequences of drinking too much at an early age. The importance of this research is to give awareness and to educate students who were addicted to alcoholic drinks. The researchers wanted to inform the students of drinking alcoholic liquor. The researchers wanted to know if Grade 12 students are engaging in this act. This research was conducted to the senior high school students of Bestlink College of the Philippines. The researchers wanted to seek information about the effects of drinking liquor on Senior High School students. Descriptive design and Qualitative research were used to gather data from the respondents through the survey. Through proper examinations, researchers concluded that students have the responsibility of knowing what to do first or what they should prioritize more than late night parties with friends/classmates. Students who are responsible enough for attending school on time can have higher grades and make their academic performance better. Aside from that, it will reflect on their personality of how disciplined and responsible they are. These are based on the observations and the experiences of the students of Bestlink College of the Philippines based on the survey answered. Being irresponsible can lead the students to get tardy. That can affect their academic performance which will reflect also their personality as students. Students should sleep as early as possible rather than doing unnecessary things that would eat up their time. Based on the result, the best way to prevent staying late at night is to become responsible enough by sleeping early and minimizing doing unnecessary activities to avoid being late and absent. Students must do their assignments on time so that they could save their valuable time. Parents should be responsible for guiding their children to overcome tardiness, give time and focus on their children so they do not feel alone or they are not loved by their parents.
