Alcohol, as one of the available legal drug substances, both in the world and in Croatia, is increasingly present in the daily life of young people. To explain the problem related to alcohol consumption among young people, more and more researchers are focusing on the importance of personality. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between some personality traits (impulsivity, excitement seeking, extraversion and conscientiousness) and problems related to alcohol consumption among young people. 285 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 from the Republic of Croatia took part in the research, of which 161 were women and 124 were men. The data was collected through an online survey that contained the AUDIT scale, Excitement Seeking Scale, Barratt's Impulsivity Scale and part of the Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire related to extraversion and conscientiousness. The results of this research showed that men and women do not differ in the level of problems related to alcohol consumption. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between the level of problems related to alcohol consumption and impulsivity, and the level of problems related to alcohol consumption and excitement seeking. No significant correlation was found between the level of problems related to alcohol consumption and extraversion. However, a negative correlation was found between the level of problems related to alcohol consumption and conscientiousness.
