Abstract: The trend of alcohol consumption among secondary school students in the eastern and northern regions of Thailand is increasing. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing alcohol consumption among high school students in one Secondary School in Dan Khun Thot district, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. A sample of 325 students completed a questionnaire, and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. The results, presented as adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval, Result showed that 71.4% of students consumed alcohol. 75% of male students consume alcohol, which is higher than the 65.9% among female students. The majority had their first drink between ages 13 and 16. Beer was the most popular choice (60.8%), often consumed for socializing with friends. Students demonstrated limited knowledge about alcohol (56%). Socio-economic factors revealed that students with sufficient income had lower alcohol consumption rates compared to those with insufficient income (AOR 0.26, 95% CI = 0.10 - 0.64, p = 0.004). Students living in community areas were more likely to drink than those outside the community (AOR 2.50, 95% CI = 1.09 - 5.70, p < 0.03). Additionally, students who have a moderate or high level of attitude (that drinking is not good) are less likely to consume alcohol than students with a low level of attitude (AOR 0.05 - 0.46 95% CI = 0.01 - 0.81, p < 0.01). In conclusion, students with sufficient income, living outside the community, and having neutral or negative attitudes towards alcohol were less prone to alcohol consumption. Therefore, schools should be aware of this issue and find ways to promote accurate attitudes towards alcohol consumption. Additionally, integrating knowledge about alcohol into the curriculum can help reduce the potential risks of alcohol consumption among students in the future.
