This article addresses psychosocial factors and alcohol consumption patterns in adolescent students. A total of 284 adolescents between 12 and 18, participated in the study. The instrument was built from the FPACA questionnaire, the RUMBOS questionnaire, FRP- SPA questionnaire, the questionnaire of alcohol consumption RPGCA, the questionnaire of family functioning APGAR and FACES. The main findings show a significant link between consumption and duration of school day, family functioning and grade. Therefore, it is important to strengthen family relationships and improve protective factors to prevent a harmful or dependent pattern of alcohol consumption in the population.
