The need for youths to seek the indulgence of alcohol in coping with the psychological aspect of life is of growing concern. The study was carried out to identify the psychosocial factors predicting towards adolescent alcohol abuse. A non experimental descriptive design was used for this study, purposive /convenience and cluster sampling was used to select a sample frame of one hundred youths in Edo state, Nigeria. Data was collected via a self developed questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data with a 5% level of significance. The result of the study revealed that there was significant association (P<0.05) between peer group influence and a tendency towards adolescent alcohol abuse, the study also revealed that significant associations (P<0.05) also exist between instability, parental consumption of alcohol and adolescent alcohol abuse. It is recommended that parents and care providers should understand the factors affecting adolescent alcohol abuse.
