INTRODUCTION: Alcohol is now increasingly avalible to all age groups including younger people and students. In Croatia, alcohol consumption is seen as a sociologically acceptable behavior, because it allows people to have a better time. However, every year a large number of people die because of the effects that alcohol leaves on human health or because of the wrong perception of the abilities that people encounter during alcohol consumption. Alcohol is consumed by an increasing number of people at an earlier age, which is why more and more attention is paid to the consequences that alcohol leaves on human health. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to examine the students of the Undergraduate Professional Study of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka about their habits of alcohol consumption. The specific objectives are to determine the age at which the majority of students (full-time and part-time) consumed alcohol for the first time, which type of alcohol bevarage they prefer and which group of students (full-time or part-time) consume alcohol more often. METHODS: Dana collection for this research was conducted through an online questionnaire on the Google Forms platform. The questionnaire was compiled by the author of the paper and is divided into two parts. The first parto f the questionnaire refers to sociodemographic dana (age, gender, high school education, method of study and year of study). The data age and method of study used are related to the objectiives of the work and where use din testing the hypotheses. The second parto f the questionnaire refers to dana on alcohol consumption (when was the first alcohol consumption, which type of alcohol bevarages do they prefer, how often do they drink, etc.). Dana from three questiones were raken from the seocnd parti n order too test the hypotheses. Before filling out the questionnaire, the respondents were informed about the purpose of the data collected from the questionnaire, that is, that the data will be used for the purpose of preparing the final paper. RESULTS: The respondents in this research are students of the Undergraduate Professional Study of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka. A total of 110 students participated in this research, of which 59 were full-time students and the other 51 were part-time students. The results obtained from the research confirm hypothesis 1, that is, they confirm that the majority of students consumed alcohol for the first time at the age of 14-18. Hypothesis 2 was also confirmed where the data indicated that nursing students (full-time and part-time) prefer alcoholic bevarages wih a lower percentage of alcohol like ebeer or wine. The third hypothesis, which examined which gruop of students (full-time or part-time) consumes alcohol more often, was rejected because both groups of students consume alcohol equally often. CONCLUSION: The majority of Undergraduate Professional Study of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka consumed alcohol at the age of 14-18, as is the case in other countries. They prefer beer or wine compared to stronger alcoholic bevarages, just like nursing student of other countries, and the difference in the frequency of alcohol consumption between full-time and part-time students is not significant.
