Abstract

Alcohol consumption represents one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. Although sport is indicated as an effective global strategy to cushion the impact of this problem, studies have concluded that it is not sport per se, but motivational aspects associated with it, that could have protective effects. The engagement with sport has not been investigated as a possible protective factor for alcohol consumption. Objective: To investigate the relationship between engagement with sports and alcohol consumption. The engagement is defined as persistent and positive cognitive-affective process characterized by the belief in one's capacity to achieve a level of performance and achieve goals (confidence), the desire to invest effort and time in the achievement of important objectives for one (dedication), vigor or physical, mental and emotional vivacity (energy) and the feeling of enjoyment (enthusiasm). Method. Participants: 362 young people (15 to 29 years old) athletes from Argentina. Instruments: Socio-demographic questionnaire, Sports Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C). Processing: Analysis of variance and logistic regression were performed with the SPSS package v.21. Results: athletes consume as much as non-athletes but those who have more energy invested in their sport, perform usual and excessive consumption less frequently. The amount of alcohol they consume is not associated with any component of the commitment to sports. The results are discussed considering variables of the cultural environment.
