The study was conducted in the University of Peloponnese, in Greece and the sample consisted of 203 students, with the greater percentage of them being females 82.3% (n=167). The mean age was 24.9 years (±7.6). The majority of the respondents (79.8%) mentioned that during a single, typical day, the alcohol consumption could reach to 1-2 drinks per day. In this study, only 4.9% of the participants (n=10) had a score equal to addiction appearance, whereas, 95.1% (n=193) didn't report severe abuse. A significant, negative correlation was found between the age and alcohol addiction scale; a fact which indicates that the more the age is increased, the less is the addiction from the alcohol.
