    Objective: To determine the factors associated with drug and alcohol consumption among 5th-year secondary school students in an educational institution in San Juan de Lurigancho. Methodology: This research is quantitative. The population consisted of 48 5th-year secondary school students from an educational institution in San Juan de Lurigancho. The study used the survey technique, and the instrument was a 26-question closed-ended questionnaire. The data were processed and tabulated using the SPSS Version 20 statistical program. Results: Of the adolescents, 77.8% consume alcohol and drugs frequently, while 33.3% do not consume alcohol but do consume drugs. Males predominate in alcohol and drug consumption. In most cases, families allow alcohol consumption. A smaller number of adolescents receive support in difficult times, yet they consume alcohol just as much as those who do not receive support. Friends demand alcohol consumption, and they feel superior when consuming it. Conclusions: The individual factors associated with alcohol consumption in adolescents are related to male sex, with higher consumption than female students. Most of them have been intoxicated at least once and have consumed other substances, such as drugs, consuming alcoholic beverages frequently. The family-related factors associated with alcohol consumption are that alcohol is permitted within the family. Family members provide support during difficult times, but they also consume alcohol. The social factors related to alcohol and drug consumption are that friends demand alcohol consumption, and consuming alcohol and drugs makes them feel superior. They perceive that alcoholism and drug addiction create addictions and cause harm; however, they still consume alcohol and some drugs.
