Objective: Determine the relationship between antisocial behaviors, child to parent violence and alcohol consumption in a sample of school adolescents in the city of Tijuana, Baja California. Methods: The study design was descriptive-correlational, the population was adolescents in school, between ages 11 to 16 years old. The sample size was 710 adolescents. The sampling was probabilistic by clusters, with random selection of groups of students. The instruments used were: Personal Data and Alcohol Consumption History Questionnaire; Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire; Questionnaire of child to parent violence; Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Results: 50.7% were female, 54.1% were between 12 and 13 years old, 65.8% lived with both parents, 45% had consumed alcohol at some point in their lives and 25.4% in the last year. To answer the objective, it was observed that there is a positive and significant relationship of antisocial behavior (sr=.305, p<.001), as well as of child to parent violence (sr=.148, p<.001) with alcohol consumption. It is worth mentioning that antisocial behavior and child to parent violence were positively related (sr=.148, p<.001). Conclusions: The greater the antisocial behavior and the greater child to parent violence the greater the alcohol consumption in adolescents. These results confirm what the international literature indicates and in the future it should be the basis for the design of preventive interventions on risky behaviors among adolescents.
