Objective: to identify the psychosocial factors associated with different patterns of alcohol consumption in the Brazilian southeastern population. Methodology: a study was carried out in which data was collected using a digital form containing sociodemographic questions, psychometric tests and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. The Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis method was used to analyze the associations between the variables and 4 models were developed: control versus risky use, control versus harmful use, control versus possible dependence and control versus problematic use. Results: a sample of 774 people was obtained, of which 296 (38%) had problematic alcohol use. Additionally, a number of factors were found to be associated with different types of alcohol consumption, which included color/race, age, income, education, form of sewage disposal, experience with a romantic breakup, violence victimization and personality traits. Conclusion: several psychosocial factors associated with different types of alcohol consumption were identified, these being relevant social determinants of health. However, based on other research, it is necessary to observe how these factors interact with consumption and with each other, to obtain a better characterization of the population segments most susceptible to problematic patterns of alcohol use.
