The community’s criterion as well as the psychiatric evaluation according to CIE-10 were taken into account. 21.8 % of risk drinkers and 6.6 % of alcoholics were detected. A predominance was observed in the age groups 20-29 and 30-39, respectively. Most of these persons did not work. The associations between alcohol drinking and other toxic habits, working repercussion and couple’s relations were significant
