The abusive consumption of alcohol expresses itself into a serious public health problem throughout the world. The objective of this study was to describe the deaths which are caused by alcohol in Sergipe between 1998 and 2010. Data have been collected using the Mortality Information System and were analyzed by the TabWin program. An increase has been observed in the number and the coefficients in the whole regional health, among men, at the age between 45 and 54 years, in a hospital environment and whose root cause was related to mental and behavioral disorders. In this way, by extending the approach of mortality, this study can help in future research, as well as contributing to health managers, especially regarding mental health.
