Tiivistelmä
The many cases of harms suffered by or caused by intoxicated youths in Kenya,including bar fights, injuries, drunk driving accidents and death makes it necessary to address the effects of excessive alcohol consumption. Most Kenyan youths who consume alcohol tend to do so due to various influences including proximity to alcohol outlets, early access of alcohol and the age in which they consume their first alcoholic drink, socioeconomic background, religion, genetics and behaviour and government policies and restrictions.

The purpose of this functional thesis was to produce an educational poster for the Kenyan youths to address the negative effects of excessive consumption of alcohol. The objective of this thesis was to increase awareness regarding the risks and consequences related to excessive consumption of alcohol. The data search process involved the review of literature from peer-reviewed articles, government and legal information (NACADA, WHO), patient education information and practice guidelines.

This thesis provided definitions of alcohol, excessive alcohol consumption, the youth and alcohol effects and discussed the influences and effects of excessive alcohol consumption among the Kenyan youths. The information search results revealed that the effects of excessive alcohol consumption included injury, unsafe sex, physical and sexual assault, health problems, suicide attempts and death, and memory loss or blackouts.

This thesis highlighted the need to conduct further research on the various effects of alcohol consumption on different groups of Kenyan youths, including pregnant women, youths younger than 21 years of age, youths with certain medical conditions, youths that take medications which react with alcohol, youths unable to control the amount they drink, and those who are recovering from alcohol use disorder.
