Introduction: The problem of using addictive substances, especially alcohol in
Indonesia, is still a serious health problem. Since 2013, data on the proportion of
alcoholic drink consumption in Indonesia has been found to have increased in 32
provinces in Indonesia. Alcohol consumption not only causes physical problems, but
also mental disorders, triggers acts of violence, and disturbs other aspects of life. One
of the psychiatric disorders that arise due to the abuse of alcoholic beverages is
depression. If not treated immediately, depression can lead to suicidal thoughts that
threaten the individual and have an impact on those around him. The aim of this
study was to examine the level of alcohol consumption and its relationship to the level
of depression. Methods: This study is an analytical study with a quantitative crosssectional survey design. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive
sampling using the AUDIT questionnaire for the level of alcohol consumption, and
BDI-II for the level of depression. Results: The research sample was obtained as many
as 30 respondents. The results of the two-variable analysis using the somer test
showed that there was no significant relationship between the level of alcohol use and
the level of depression. Conclusion: In this study, there was no statistically
significant relationship between the level of alcohol use and the level of depression in
individuals who used multiple substances.
