Trata-se de estudo de abordagem qualitativa baseado no referencial fenomenológico social de Alfred Schütz. A amostra foi composta 14 jovens. Utilizou-se uma entrevista cujos resultados foram agrupados em categorias: "O pub como o espaço de interação social", "A influência do contexto para o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas" e "O padrão de consumo abusivo de alcoól, uma atitude natural?". Os participantes frequentam os pubs em busca do cenário de interação social. Ao consumirem bebidas alcoólicas, influenciam-se pelo contexto e pelas pessoas com quem compartilham o prazer pela bebida e acabam desenvolvendo um padrão de risco. Conclui-se que os consumidores de álcool, frequentadores de bares noturnos, constituem um desafio para a prevenção em saúde, pois desenvolvem uma baixa percepção de risco, aumentando sua vulnerabilidade.Palavras-chave: bebidas alcoólicas; consumo de bebidas alcoólicas; adulto; motivação; psicologia.
