Abstract

Background: The study investigates the dynamic interaction that exists between young adults' interpersonal relationships, alcohol usage, and its repercussions. To shed light on how alcohol intake affects the dynamics and quality of social connections within this group, the study attempts to untangle the intricate interactions between these variables. The study starts by looking at young persons' drinking habits, considering both moderate and excessive consumption. It explores the physiological and psychological impacts of alcohol consumption on people, including how it affects mood, judgment, and social conduct. Understanding how these impacts appear in the setting of interpersonal relationships is given particular emphasis.

Material and Method: The sample of individuals were chosen from the subcontinent of India, the individual resided in various state of India. The sample selected for this study was 100 individuals ranging between the age group of 18 to 25 years and were mainly male and female. A mixed- methods strategy is used in the study, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods. Surveys measuring the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and alcohol intake among young adults are used to get quantitative data. In-depth interviews examining participants' perspectives and experiences with alcohol consumption and social interactions are used to get qualitative data. The design of the study and the interpretation of its results are also informed by pertinent literature and theoretical frameworks.

Result: The study's findings show a strong correlation between young adults' drinking habits and several interpersonal relationship-related factors. Higher alcohol intake is associated with less relationship satisfaction and more relationship conflict, according to quantitative studies. Qualitative research reveals more about the complex ways that young adults' use of alcohol affects their ability to communicate, build trust, and experience emotional closeness. The study also finds variables that moderate the association between alcohol consumption and relationship quality, such as peer pressure and coping mechanisms. Overall, the findings show the intricate relationship that exists between young adults' alcohol use and interpersonal dynamics and the necessity of focused interventions to support both responsible alcohol use and successful relationships in this population.
