The Tower of Hanoi was applied to measureplanning; the Simon Task, for inhibitory control andthe Iowa Gambling Task for decision-making. Threequestionnaires were applied; AUDIT for alcoholconsumption, sociodemographic variables and toinquire about nicotine and marijuana. It is observedthat there is a certain part of the gender effect on thefrequency and intensity of alcohol; on the other handthe extent of planning is affected by the frequencyand intensity of alcohol and nicotine. Furthermore,no significance is given to the dependent variablesand marijuana.
