The main of this study is to understand motives of cheap liquor consumption among youngsters. The information has been gathered from 10 respondents from rural vicinity in Perak. The outcomes indicated the primary motive for consuming cheap liquor is because of the monetary burden faced by the drinkers. It was observed that male drinkers might devour alcohol to kill boredom and at the same time to release body aches after a day_s task. The findings of this study are imperative in providing direction for future studies on alcohol consumption amongst Malaysian adolescents and information for the strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol in the communities.
