As alcoholic beverage consumption represents an important public health issue, and is strongly tied to poor performance and permanence of individuals in professional fields, the present study's authors sought to analyse how managers act in the face of organizational contexts in which alcoholic employees are present. Professionals in civil construction from the municipality of Passo Fundo, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were specifically targeted for study. Through a quantitative and cross-sectional approach, a descriptive study was carried out by applying questionnaires to 50 managers of companies in the industry. From the managers' perspective, alcohol abuse is a disease. Cases in this work context demonstrate the need for internal actions aimed at limiting the conscious use of alcoholic beverages. While respondents considered the workplace to be an appropriate place to promote preventative measures against alcoholism, this was largely not carried out in practice.

Palabras clave : alcohol; work; human resources; civil construction; alcoholic consumption.
