In one word: Frustration.

jungleboo:
it is a combination of too much depression as well as lazy mentality of some youth and the need to 'belong'

Nigerian youths are not lazy. Rather, available jobs ain't sufficient to absorb them.

When weed is scarce
Alcohol is the next option.

Is it just my surrounding or are young chaps into getting high this days?

I am on this table. I take alcohol on weekly basis. You r right. Youths getting high on alcohol is common these days . it is partly due to stress , unemployment, depression , e.t.c

xxgig:
I think I find myself here. Though I don't abuse drugs but I find myself once in awhile knocking myself out when I have issues sleeping

same here with me, whenenever I hv sleeping issue, that's when I use it

Depression no dey easy my brother but instead of taking sniper look for two or three bottles of Budweiser

Am surprised no body mentioned Yahoo..the increase in alcohol intake is traceable to Yahoo..in my area boys of 15- 17 year old have acquired money that people like me haven't even touch thereby causing them to drink, smoke anything they want.

This is the reason

Uncontrolled production and distribution.

Every jobless youth in Nigeria can afford sachet alcohol no matter how poor.

In my hood from 6am to 11pm everyday no break with wireless Bluetooth speaker playing ' if we nor make money watin we gain' shy na the music and highness go give them the money. .

To feel internal happiness asap, since no real love anywhere any longer.

Frustration! You need something to keep your sanity by unwinding

When you can't do without something, I believe it is called addiction.

Maybe you don't like the word but it is what it is.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the number one cause alchol intake is so prevalent among youths even in Junior secondary schools.
Growing up in the 80s 90s and early 2000s, buying of alcohol is expensive, at least for a teenager then, schnapps Aromatic gin comes in very big bottle that not everyone can afford. But now gin comes in N50 and N100 satchets that even a primary school boy can afford.
There are now many brands of cheap satchets gin that claims to be for " manpower" "Jedi""opa eyin" etc some of the brand names sound so ridiculous. The women who sell these alcoholic drinks do pack them in a bowl in different brands. Go to any garage in Lagos or any busy area you will see them there.
In America you can't buy alcohol if you don't have an I'd that you are 18 and in most states 21 years. But here, parents send children to buy beers, uncles send their nephews to buy satchets gin.
I thank God that I have formed all my habits before this new era of drugs and alcohol abuse, please parents you will have to do x10 of home training of what our parents gave us to your kids if you don't want them to waste their lives. Things so bad morally nowadays.
When I was serving I caught little boys not more than 13 to 15 years with nude women photos on their phone? Now anyone with a smart phone and internet connection can have access to millions of porn materials with just a few words search on Google.
Parents don't take anything for granted,things are different now compare to when we were kids.

And you and all those well-mannered oldies have done us proud...you don't drink and you don't smoke and Nigeria has been better for it.

Woe to all those who haven't experienced life in all it's facets. Y'all are the biggest loosers

Can you even compare how Alcohol and Drugs are being abused in America to Nigeria?

It's simply caused by bad influence from musicians. e.g Olamide. The same musicians made this young guys to be doing yahoo yahoo . they don't even want to go to skool anymore.
