Objetivos y método
En este trabajo se evalúan diferentes determinantes cognitivos que llevan a 136 estudiantes de enseñanza secundaria (Media=16.6 años; d.t.=1.17 años) a realizar un consumo intensivo de alcohol (>60 g. varones y >40 g. mujeres, en 2 horas), utilizando como marco de referencia la Teoría del Comportamiento Planificado (Ajzen, 1985).
Resultados
En líneas generales, se aprecia una sobreestimación de consecuencias positivas derivadas de este consumo unido a una infravaloración del deterioro psicosocial. También destaca la falsa percepción de control sobre la conducta, a pesar de llegar a reconocer su incapacidad para manejarla en situaciones puntuales, y el influjo intermedio que ejerce la presión social.
Discusión
Estos resultados plantean la necesidad de una intervención motivacional centrada en técnicas de aumento de concienciación, reevaluación ambiental y autoreevaluación, con el objetivo principal de incrementar el nivel de conciencia sobre los riesgos y consecuencias que pueden derivar de este patrón de consumo.

In general, an overestimation of positive consequences arising from this consumption coupled with an underestimation of psychosocial impairment is registered. It also highlights the false perception of control over behavior, although come to recognize their inability to handle specific situations, and the influence exerted through social pressure.
