The objective of this study was to analyze the brazilian scientific production about the relationship between alcohol consumption and other drugs (AD) and the occurrence of intra-family violence (domestic violence). Integrative review, using all databases included in the Virtual Health Library, selecting articles published between 2013 and 2019, in portuguese, available in full electronically and with free access. From the 42 selected studies, it was possible to observe an important role in the consumption of alcohol and other drugs in the occurrence of intra-family violence, indicating in most articles the use of alcohol and other drugs as one of the main factors (provoker, influator, motivator, triggering) of intra-family violence. On the other hand, it has also been described that AD consumption may be a consequence of intra-family violence, which may act as a cycle of consumption and reaction, acting as a propellant of use and vice versa, describing the use of AD as important, but not as unique cause for intra-family violence. It was possible to analyze the interference of AD consumption in intra-family violence, with its various members (women, children, adolescents, the elderly) and in various aspects, suggesting that alcohol is the main licit substance involved in the phenomenon of violence, as well as other illicit drugs, even in a lesser proportion, in Brazil. Although violence in the family is multifactorial, it is essential to consider the effect of AD in the occurrence of this aggravation, because they occur simultaneously and share a complex set of risk factors, with serious psychosocioeconomic effects Individually and collectively, requiring intersectoral actions for their coping.
