The Youth group are regarded as the future of a nation but it has been noticed that they also easily amalgamate with illegal activities. They are motivated to involve in violence and as a way of asserting their independence of the adulthood and their rules, as a way of gaining the attention and respect of peers, as a way of compensating for limited personal competencies, or as a response to restricted opportunities for success at school or in the community. That period of youth life, many changes like stress, depression, reveal the gap between expectation and achievement, ideological conflict between parents and their children, etc may led to create disturbed conditions . Therefore, the present work has been tried to study about the socio-economic association of youth with the family, neighbours, peers and addiction with alcohol during the transitional period youth life.
