Abstract

This article presents us with one of the most pressing problems facing our society, excessive drinking. It aims to analyze the problem of alcohol consumption among university students, Angolan and Czech students participated in the sample. To achieve our purpose, we resorted to a descriptive-cross-sectional study, using questionnaires with 20 questions on a sample of 100 Angolan and Czech university students. The results show that Czech students are the ones who consume alcohol most frequently, the ones who consume it earlier, on the other hand, Angolan students showed to be the most socially influenced to consume alcohol, the ones with greater abstinence within the family. The Czechs use alcohol to improve their mood and good mood, while the Angolans enjoy the pleasant taste. It was concluded that, in both groups, there are only attitudinal and not behavioral differences, suggesting the need for preventive efforts.
