Se aplic&oacute; el cuestionario SONAR 98 modificado y adaptado por los investigadores. <b>Resultados:</b> Se realiz&oacute; en 17 centros nocturnos, participaron 789 personas, 57,7&#37; eran mujeres, la edad promedio 23 a&ntilde;os; con alguna actividad laboral (39,0&#37;) y estudiantes (61,0&#37;); la frecuencia para el estrato socioecon&oacute;mico 4 fue (31,0&#37;), para el 3 (30,0&#37;) y el 5 (22,0&#37;). La mayor&iacute;a de los encuestados hab&iacute;an consumido alguna vez en su vida alcohol (95&#37;), cigarrillo (46,0&#37;), cannabis (25,0&#37;), nitrito de amilo &quot;Popper&quot;(10,0&#37;), &quot;drogas de dise&ntilde;o&quot; como anfetaminas y metanfetaminas (9,0&#37;), y sedantes e hipn&oacute;ticos (10,0&#37;). El primer consumo, se inici&oacute; de manera temprana con las llamadas drogas sociales: alcohol (14 a&ntilde;os), y tabaco (15 a&ntilde;os). <b>Conclusi&oacute;n:</b> A diferencia de los resultados obtenidos a nivel mundial, este estudio mostr&oacute; que el consumo de drogas recreativas se inicia con sustancias socialmente aceptadas, como el alcohol y el tabaco, mientras que las drogas de dise&ntilde;o y otras tienen un uso m&aacute;s restringido, y su consumo se ve relegado a edades m&aacute;s tard&iacute;as. <b><i>Salud UIS</i> 2011; 43(1): 72-73</b></p> 	     <p align="justify"><b>Palabras Claves:</b> Agentes psicoactivos, consumo, esparcimiento</p>      <p align="center"><font size="3"><b>Characteristics of consumption of recreational substances    <br> in nocturnal establishments from Valle de Aburra 2009</b></font></p> 	     <p align="center"><font size="3"><b>ABSTRACT</b></font></p> 	     <p align="justify"><b>Introduction:</b> In recent years there have come into existence the so-called &quot;recreational drugs&quot; which are related to a night entertainment context such as discotheques and bars, as well as the simultaneous presence of certain types of music; besides the increasing consumption, the number of reports about adverse effects related to its comsuption has also increased. <b>Objective:</b> To identify the demographic and &quot;recreational substances&quot; consumption characteristics of people attending night clubs in some of the municipalities of the Aburr&aacute; Valley. <b>Methods:</b> We designed a cross-sectional study. The population was made-up of adult males and females that attended night clubs in the Aburr&aacute; Valley. We used the SONAR 98 modified survey adapted to the researchers. <b>Results:</b> We studied 17 night clubs, 789 people participated, 57.7&#37; were female, mean age was 23 years; with some labor activity (39&#37;) and students (61&#37;); the frequency for socioeconomic stratum 4 was (31&#37;), 3 was (30&#37;) and 5 (22&#37;). Most of the surveyed population had consumed at some point of their lives alcohol (95&#37;), cigarette (46&#37;), cannabis (25&#37;), amyl nitrite or &quot;Popper&quot; (10&#37;), &quot;designed drugs&quot; such as amphetamines and methamphetamines (9&#37;), sedatives and hypnotics (10&#37;). Consumption first started early in life with the so-called social drugs: alcohol (14 years of age), and cigarette smoking (15 years of age). <b>Conclusion:</b> Unlike results shown worldwide, our study showed that recreational drugs consumption started with socially accepted substances such as alcohol and cigarette smoking, whereas designed drugs and other drugs have a more restricted use, and its consumption is left for older ages. <b><i>Salud UIS</i> 2011; 43(1): 72-73</b>.</p> 	     ]]></body>
