Methods: we performed searches in PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, LILACS and SciELOdatabases, and we selected studies about validity of the questionnaires. The material quality was assessed using the CASP guide and data synthesis was qualitative. Results: we found 133 references, 56 were repeated, 52 were not on the subject oraim, and we added 7 from other sources. We found 16 instruments with good reliability and validity indicators, some of which were used effectively to predict alcohol consumption. Conclusion: the alcohol expectancies questionnaires could be ausefultool for clinical, evaluation, screening and research.
