Abstract
O consumo de álcool faz parte do ritual de inte‑
gração da vida académica, sendo considerado um
veículo de inclusão no grupo, estando também asso‑
ciado a comportamentos de risco, como condução
sob o efeito de álcool e sexo desprotegido. O Projeto
Giros surge neste âmbito com o objetivo de reduzir
os riscos e minimizar os danos relacionados com o
consumo excessivo de álcool nas festas e semanas
académicas de Aveiro.
Neste estudo, a equipa inquiriu nas semanas aca‑
démicas de 2016 a 2018, 661 estudantes universi‑
tários, com o objetivo de apurar as características
sociodemográficas e o perfil de consumo de álcool
dos seus frequentadores. Verificou-se que 69,10%
dos inquiridos são do sexo masculino e apresentam
uma média de idades de 20 anos. Quanto às carac‑
terísticas de consumo, constatámos que 37,30% dos
inquiridos apresenta uma taxa de alcoolemia igual
ou superior a 0,50g/l, reportando a ingestão de vários
tipos de bebida e o consumo médio de 6 copos por
noite. Não se verificam diferenças nas taxas espera‑
das e obtidas relativamente ao sexo e no consumo de
álcool de acordo com a idade. O meio de transporte
utilizado esteve dependente da taxa de alcoolemia,
ou seja, quanto maior a taxa de alcoolemia maior a
consciencialização na escolha do meio de transporte.
Alcohol consumption is part of the ritual of inte‑ grating in academic life; it is also considered a vehi‑ cle of inclusion in a group, and is associated to risk behaviors, such as driving under the influence of alcohol and unprotected sex. The Giros Project appears in this scope with the following aim: to reduce the risks and to minimize the damages relat‑ ed to the excessive consumption of alcohol in the academic parties from Aveiro. In this study, 661 university students were inquired in the academic parties from Aveiro until 20162018. We aimed to collect data related to socio‑ demographic characteristics and the profile of alcohol consumption. It was found that 69,10% of the respondents were male and had a mean age of 20 years. Regarding consumption characteris‑ tics, we found that 37,30% of participants present‑ ed blood alcohol content equal to or greater than 0,50 g/l. Participants also reported that ingested various types of drink and the average consump‑ tion of 6 glasses per night. There were no differ‑ ences in sex to the expected and obtained alcohol; alcohol consumption was not related to age. The vehicle used to go home was dependent on the rate of blood alcohol, i.e., higher blood alcohol content was associated to greater awareness in choice vehicles.
