Abstract

ABSTRACT This report discusses an 18-year-old adolescent who, after experiencing unusual psychosis-like symptoms following alcohol consumption, decided to abstain from alcohol. Although alcohol-induced psychosis is not rare, this case stands out as the adolescent’s symptoms sharply contrasted with typical expectations of alcohol’s effects, and the adolescent encountered traumatic hallucinations and fear after consuming alcohol, leading to days of discomfort and difficulty concealing his experiences from his parents; faced with the risk of his parents discovering his alcohol use, he decided to quit entirely and maintain abstinence from alcohol.
