The early age of drinking onset is significantly associated with alcohol problem in adulthood. Therefore the alcohol drinking onset during adolescence should be paid more attention and developed further academically. This study aims to investigate the effects of friends who drink to alcohol drinking onset in South Korean adolescences and examine the context of effects within friends network(homophily or diffusion). A 5-year (2003-2007) panel data from Korea Youth Panel Survey (KYPS) were analyzed for this study. And I carried out Kaplan-Meier survival analysis on age of alcohol drinking onset and discrete-time event history analysis to find out a possibility of causal relationship between friends who drink and alcohol drinking onset. The results showed that the survivor function of alcohol drinking onset differs greatly depending on the presence of friends who drink. And based on the discrete-time event history analysis, the effect of friends who drink is strongly associated with alcohol drinking onset. Furthermore, interaction effects between duration (age) and friends who drink are detected. These findings imply that friends who drink within friends effect on learning of drinking and evidence of diffusion within friends network.
