Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of hazardous drinking was 40.9%. The significant factors related to hazardous drinking were attitude towards alcohol drinking (adj. OR = 2.63, 95% CI = 1.47 - 4.73), age (adj. OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.15 - 3.74) and alcohol drinking among family members (adj. OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.10 - 3.50). Conclusion: Female vocational students had a high rate of hazardous alcohol drinking.
