RUIZ-FLORES BISTUER, Miguel et al. Alcohol consumption prevalence in civil servants. Arch Prev Riesgos Labor [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.2, pp.111-114.  Epub 21-Set-2020. ISSN 1578-2549.  https://dx.doi.org/10.12961/aprl.2017.20.02.4.

Alcohol consumption is a concern for its effects on health and repercussions on the work environment. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption among civil servants and to examine its association with sociodemographic and occupational variables. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1180 workers from January to November 2011. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was measured in ABV (alcohol by volume) units, and examined by sociodemographic and occupational variables (sex, education level, type of work and social class). Overall, 81.78% of the study population consumed alcohol; most were men, with moderate-severe consumption levels. Alcohol consumption was related to low education level, social class, and manual work. These results indicate the need for occupational health services to implement preventive actions at the workplace.
