The first consistency in the adaptation of the instrument and the phase of proceeding to evaluate the internal consistency and validity of the construction of the self-control instrument of alcohol consumption. The internal consistency was a = .80 considered acceptable. In relation to the validity of the construction, a correlational method was used, for example, with the total scale, where the values of the items showed a positive and significant correlation with the total value (p = .000), as well as factorial analysis by main components and rotation. Varimax showing a total of three factors. Conclusion.
