Further violence was reported in men than in women. There is a positive relationship between the cups consumed on a typical day with violent behavior (rs = .214, p <.001), also according to the score of drinking (AUDIT) a positive relationship with behavior violent (rs = .314, p <.001). Finally significant difference was found by school violence for prevalence of alcohol consumption sometime in life (U = 3709.5, p <.001) in the last year (U = 5529.0, p <.001) and month (U = 5796.0, p <.001), emphasizing higher mean and median scores on violence on students who consume alcohol. The results of this study may in the future be the basis for the development of preventive nursing programs on violence and alcohol.
