The analysis was conducted by grounded theory and following the steps proposed by Taylor-Bogdan. Results: Were obtained 5 categories from the data analysis: perception of risk on the consumption of alcohol; internal and social factors that influence the decision of young people to consume alcohol; attitudes and behaviors in the family related with the alcohol consumption; intergenerational differences in the forms of entertainment associated with alcohol and the role of the school to the consumption of alcohol by young people and their influence on behavior change. Conclusion: Understanding the botellón as a complex and dynamic phenomenon which involves social factors both internal and reiterates the importance of promoting integrated and supported on shared responsibility of the parts involved.
