OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the Quality of life (QoL) and abusive alcohol consumption by residents of the Lagoa dos Índios quilombola community in the city of Macapá, state of Amapá. METHOD: the instrument used was the short version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF). RESULTS: there was prevalence of males, low educational levels and alcohol consumption in adolescence. As for QoL, the domains that stood out were the social relationships (75.64%) and psychological (65.11%); the domain with lowest scores was the environmental (49.77%). CONCLUSION: the QoL proposes to rethink this condition considering a more favorable environment and the importance of effective interventions for multidimensional sociodemographic variables.
