In this paper we investigated the chemical and behavioral effects of alcohol consumption. It belongs to an area of research of plethora of psychologists, sociologists, teachers, etc. There are some differences depending on the country of origin, yet this problem has not been resolved. The research was conducted on 480 Slovak college students having used the modified Engs´ Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). The MANCOVA data evaluation method with emphasis on the age as a covariate and Pearson´s product moment were used. The focus is on the gender, year of study, gross grade average, religion, field of study and orientation on knowledge and experience of alcohol. The year of study is insignificant in effecting the experience of alcohol among students while the effect of other categorical variables turn out to be significant. The gender and year of study have a significant influence on students’ knowledge of alcohol.
