The Qualitative method is used in the study, in which excessive drinking of

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

As a Grade 11 student , We observed that some of the Grade 10 students are drinking

excessive Alcoholic Beverages. We chose this topic to help lessen the number of the students

that are having an excessive drinking of Alcoholic Beverages.

Based on our observation, some of the Grade 10 students of BeNHS attend the class

drunk. As a consequence they will be sent to the Guidance office and will be punished by the

Guidance councilor.

This research can helped us know the reasons why some of the Grade 10 students of

BeNHS are drinking excessive Alcoholic Beverages. Therefore, the results helped us have

idea on how can we help lessen this situation.

This is mainly for the purpose of letting the students feel that excessive drinking of

Alcoholic Beverages can have negative result to their studies. It enables them to balance their

study and their wants.

Conceptual Framework

According to Substance abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (2015) kids

who starts drinking before age fifteen are five times more likely to become alcoholic or abuse

to alcohol than are people who want until adulthood for their first sip. Alcohol is a drug.

Every day, more than 4,750 teenagers aged 15 and younger take their first full drink to this

drug.

According to Haelle (2015) there is also another problem for students who

experimented with this drugs that they are more likely than adults are too consume too much

alcohol over a short period of time and this is known as Binge Drinking. The addiction of the

teenagers to this drug will make them a binge drinkers. Binge drinking may harm teenager’s

brain.

According to Chaterji and De Simone (2005), In the U.S. one of our individuals

between the ages 12 and 20 drinks alcohol on a monthly basis and similar affects educational

attainment by decreasing the number of years of schooling and the like hood of completing

school oportion of 12 graders consumes 5 or more drinks in a row at least once every 2

weeks. Several studies have reported that alcohol use during adolesence.

The figure shows the IPO of the study. In input, researchers include the profile of the

Grade 10 students in terms of the following: a) age and b) sex. The researchers want to know

who are the students engaged in drinking alcoholic beverages, the effect on their academic

performance and the factors that causes them to drink excessive alcohol.

In process, researchers analyzed the gathered data through the questionnaires given.

Lastly, in output the expected outcome of this study is to understand how the students

manage their time on their studies and on their wants and also to know the perceptions of

students and on drinking alcoholic beverages.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to explain the effects of drinking alcoholic beverages to the academic

performance of the Grade 10 students in BeNHS.

Specifically, this aimed to answer the following questions:

2. How will drinking alcoholic beverages affect the academic performance of the students

as perceived by the Grade 10 students?

3. How will drinking alcoholic beverages affect the social behavior of the Grade 10

It can also motivate them to do their best in school,

To the parents, the results may serve as a tool to help them guide their children and to

push them to do good in school.

To the teachers, the results will help them know that drinking alcoholic beverages is one

of the reason for the students to get absent, and to help them how to lessen the situation. It

can help them to encourage the students and prioritize their studies.
 CHAPTER II: RESEARCH DESIGN

Qualitative research approach for this study was chosen because qualitative methods

are useful in determining that alcohol can rewire the teenage brain. (Haelle, 2015) also stated

that binge drinking may harm a teenage’s brain- how- and forever- a mouse study suggested.

The study used phenomenological design. Survey competition type of survey questionnaires

are included for data collection and data analysis procedures.

POPULATION AND LOCALE OF THE STUDY

This study focuses on the effects of excessive drinking of alcohol beverages to the

academic performance of Grade 10 students in BeNHS-Main. Using survey questionnaire,

the researchers were able to gather data needed for the study.

For this study to have respondents, researchers made use of non-probability sampling

which convenience sampling because it is most convenience and fastest way. There were 100

respondents that are Grade 10 students. The researchers are confident that the chosen sample

is truly representative of the entire population of Grade 10 students.

After knowing the sample size. They will be given a survey questionnaire wherein

they will answer it and serve as the data collection of the study.

Data Collection Procedure

Prior to actual data collection, the researchers drafted the survey questionnaire

submitted to the teacher for approval. A letter to the respondents was also prepared.

During the actual data collection, the letter was read by the researchers to the
respondents asking for informed consent and also informing them of the study. The purpose

of the study was explained in general terms. Assurances on anonymity and confidentiality of

results were given upon the data collection.

The respondents were asked to answer 12 questions about the effects of excessive

drinking of alcoholic beverages to their academic performance, social behavior and the

effects that lie ahead.

After gathering the data, the researchers expressed their gratitude to the respondents

for their answers.

Data Collection Instrument

For this study, the researchers design a self-administered questionnaire for the data

gathering process to achieve the main objective of the study. The primary aim of the

questionnaire is to determine the respondents profile according to: (1) Age (2) sex. this

researchers will use a mixture of closed questionnaire and open comments in the

questionnaire. A closed question is one that has pre-coded answers. The simplest is the

dichotomous question to which the respondent must answer yes or no. Through close

questions, the researchers will be able to limit responses that are within the scope of the

study.

Data Analysis

In here the researchers gathered data from the Grade 10 students through surveyed

questionnaires. The researchers highlighted the main focus of the study which is effects of

drinking of alcoholic beverages to the academic performance of the Grade 10 students. The

researchers brought together the answered questionnaires and field notes then look for

relationships within and across the data sources. The researchers find out the reasons why

Grade 10 students engage to excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages.
