Alcohol is the psychoactive substance most consumed worldwide, young people are the age group with the highest consumption rate in the country and the entrance to the university is considered a risk factor for the intake of alcohol. About 92.7% of the interviewees use the substance. The objective of this study is to assess the frequency of alcohol consumption of students at the University Center. Questionnaires were distributed to students of Agronomy, Law, Civil Engineering and Veterinary Medicine. The results showed that the consumption of this substance in the past month was observed in 80.0% of the sample, 70.0% of students drink on weekends and 27.0% on weekday. The standard "Episodic Heavy Drinking" was presented by 52.0% of the students and 5.0% of the students did not meet a commitment in the last year because of drink. Thus, it is necessary to conduct interventions to enlighten students about the harmful effects of alcohol abuse.
