The objectives raised in the present study were to know the alcohol consumption prevalence; to explain the existing effects of personal risk factors (demographic and labor) with alcohol consumption. To explain the effects that exist of the psychosocial risk factors (that include:self-esteem, stress events and the affective mood) with alcohol consumption in 440 adult women, of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Nuevo León, México, during the year of the 2007, for that it was carried out a descriptive and correlational type study. It was observed that 75% of the sample, referred to consume alcohol sometime in life, as well as 64.5% of women referred to consume alcohol in the last year, in relationship to the alcohol prevalence in the last month a proportion of 26.4% is pointed out in the participants. It was found a significant difference of the age (X2=6.29, p=0.043), marital status (H=47.30, p<0.001), occupation (U=6761.0, p=0.001), type or work (X2= 18.43, p=0.005) for the alcohol consumption in women according to the TWEAK scale. It is observed that the personal factors that can predict that a person consummates alcohol in 39.8% are the marital status (B=-.414, p=0.036) and the age of onset of alcohol consumption (B=-0.431 p=0.001). Regarding to the psychosocial factors it is noticed that the variables that can influence in that the consumption of alcohol is presented in 19.5%, they are the self-esteem (B=-5.63E-02, p=0.003) and stress events (B=167E-02, p=0.029).
