We received interesting data from ZPPP Polish Browary. It is no secret that the presence of alcohol at prom, before and after the party, is common. However, research indicates how many and what drinks young Poles eat during this unique event.
How many high school graduates drink at a prom?
IQS research conducted in January 2025 shows that 90 percent People have heard of someone who drank alcohol on prom. 76 percent They saw such people, in turn 62 percent people admitted that they were eating alcohol in person. Almost everyone saw strong alcohol around them, of which almost half were the so -called “Monkeys”. A large part of the respondents (also half) saw a friend or a drunk friend during the ball.
Prom. What do high school graduates drink?
Vodka reigns, because 80 percent people drinking alcohol at the pre -matural ball indicated this drink. At the party itself from large bottles, while before the so -called “monkeys”. Champagne is the second most popular drinking alcohol in a prom (28 %). Buy ready drinks (11 percent), beer (9 %) and wine (8 percent) are much less frequently mentioned.
“The study results confirm that eating strong alcohols during prom is a common phenomenon, which is extremely worrying. The school and related events are not a place to eat alcoholic beverages, even if adults do it. The prom is preceded by the secondary school -leaving examination. Drinking alcohol is not proof of adulthood or maturity. Unfortunately, a large part of young people still think differently, and the symbolic entry into adulthood identifies with drinking strong alcohol. “ – comments Bartłomiej Morzycki, General Director of the Association of Brewing Industry Employers – Polish Browary.
“Our industry has been working for responsible alcohol consumption and limiting access to minors to alcohol products for many years. On all beers brewed by members of our Union, including non -alcoholic ones, there is a clear designation 18+ indicating that they are products for adults. For many years, we have been organizing trainings for trade and gastronomy employees that help assertively refuse to sell alcohol to minors and intoxicated people. “ – adds Morzycki.
