ABSTRACT: The current study used Descriptive Correlation Method which explored on the relationship between Depression Profile (Normal Range, Mild Depression, Moderate or Marked Depression, Severe Depression), Drinking Motives (Enhancement, Coping, Conformity and Social) and Alcohol Consumption (Low Risk, Risky, Harmful, Dependent) among adolescents with the expectation to find out what specific factor held the most significant relationship among different variables. In a sample of 156 college students (ages 18-20) the researcher measured the variables with the used of Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, Drinking Motives Questionnaire and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and through the statistical analysis using chi-square test to assess the relationship between variables. The study yielded results which suggest that (i) Among the levels of depression, most of the adolescent second year college students belonged to the mild level of depression while some manifested a severe level of depression (ii) Social motive was the most endorsed reasons for drinking alcohol while conformity being the least, (iii) Most of the adolescent second year college students belonged to the Zone II, risky level of alcohol consumption and needed brief intervention. (iv) There was no significant relationship between depression profile and drinking motives however there was a significant relationship between depression profile and levels of alcohol consumption (v) There was a significant relationship between coping and conformity motive to their level of alcohol consumption. The implications and recommendation for the future researchers and proposed preventive measures were as follows: 1. Adapt the proposed school counseling guidance program aimed to discuss the problems of alcohol consumption and monitored the progress and effectivity of the proposed preventive counseling program. 2. Coordinate with guidance and counseling office about the results and proposed preventive counseling program. 3. Increased awareness on the signs and symptoms of depression and developed ways to cope with depression. 4. Increased awareness on the effects of alcohol consumption and enhanced the motivation skills to reduce the risk of consuming alcohol. 5. The administrator and faculty should abide by to the university policy regarding drinking alcohol and strict implementation on the city ordinance specifically 50 to 200 meters distance away from the school in selling alcohol and the establishment that catered alcohol should be strictly followed.
