The transition to college is a challenge for students due to the amount and diversity of changes caused by a new personal and social context that requires the development of adaptive resources. The vulnerability brought by this phase can motivate the use of alcohol and other drugs, and a recurring pattern found in university. The subjective well-being (SWB) and self-efficacy (SE) are examples of protective factors that can influence the behavior and attitudes of young people in situations such as alcohol consumption. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the explanatory power of subjective well-being and self-efficacy on alcohol consumption in university. The study sample consisted of 405 university students courses in the area of health in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, with an average age of 21.69 (SD = 5.49), mostly female (81.5), attending the first or second half, both mornings as the night. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, version 20.0 for Windows to perform descriptive and exploratory calculations: mean, standard deviation, correlation, standard regression analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Students t test. The study results revealed that the university had a low level of subjective well-being, self-efficacy above average and low alcohol consumption, being classified mostly as abstinent. Evidence that subjective well-being and self-efficacy predict, albeit in a limited way were observed, alcohol consumption, especially with higher predictive ability negative affect, self-efficacy in proactive actions and self-efficacy in social interaction. Additionally, correlation analysis (Pearsons r) revealed that SE and SWB are related to each other, having positive and significant levels. Were also found significant and negative correlations between alcohol consumption, general self-efficacy and their factors, as well as significant and positive correlations between alcohol consumption and negative affects. Additionally, it is possible to conclude that, in the study group, among young people who consumed alcohol, male students showed a higher consumption of the drink than women.
