This research aimed to determine the variables associated to the motivation of inpatients to avoid excessive
consumption of alcoholic beverages. This is a cross-sectional study in which participated 1.050 male patients aged
between 21 and 70 years, hospitalized in three hospitals of the city of Pelotas, in the period from November 1st, 2000 to
June 15th, 2001. Data collection was performed by the application of questionnaires. The findings revealed that 180
patients were excessive drinkers, predominating, among them, people with less economic power and higher age group. By
the other hand, the younger group presented itself less motivated to avoid such habits. Therefore, that group must be
considered a priority target from interventions performed by health professionals, in order to enable their awareness about
the inconvenience caused by the abuse of alcohol.
