Objective: to verify the association between patterns of alcohol consumption and attitudes toward alcohol, alcoholism, and alcoholics in nurses. Method: this was a cross-sectional, correlational study with a non-probabilistic sample of professional nurses (n=163) who completed the scale of attitudes to alcohol, alcoholism and alcoholics and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Results: attitudes were negative (cutoff point <2.4), and a negative relationship was identified between attitudes to alcohol, alcoholism and alcoholics score and alcohol consumption (r=?.013, p=.868). Conclusion: the consumption patterns for the nurses were sensible. In particular, the mexican nurses showed negative attitudes towards alcohol-related problems, alcoholism and alcoholics.
