| Resumo: | An increased consumption of alcoholic beverages in many countries during the pandemic was observed Faced with the longer stay at home and an adverse routine often accompanied by loneliness. Between March 2020 and January 2022, Brazilian public universities, trying to adapt to the situation of the pandemic, paralyzed face-to-face classes in an attempt to avoid crowding and resorted to work through remote teaching as an alternative to allow the continuity of the actions carried out by UFRN.The impact of this shutdown is certainly great and may imply the appearance and/or alteration of various behaviors, such as increased consumption of alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages have their moderate consumption encouraged by the population due to the initial effects of relaxation and euphoria caused in the body.However, chronic uncontrolled use, characterizing chemical dependence, is discriminated against, even though alcoholism is now considered a bio-psycho-social disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) consider that there is no safe limit to alcohol consumption and that the damage to health increases with the amount consumed, since ethanol is a psychoactive, reinforcing, carcinogenic, teratogenic, immunosuppressive and toxic substance for tissues and cells.Ethanol is a toxic substance that, acutely and chronically, is able to interfere with the functioning of the immune system, making the user more susceptible to developing infections, including Covid-19. Heavy drinking behavior increases the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), one of the most serious complications of COVID-19. Inthese contexts, the objective of the present study was to know the impact and pattern of consumption of alcoholic beverages in administrative technicians and other employees of UFRN making a comparison between the year 2019 and during the pandemic.Considering that 20% of the study population consume at least one dose of alcoholic beverage daily, 183 responses would be needed to represent this population (the Transparency Brazil Portal, on 10/04/2021, reports that UFRN has 6,396 employees in office).A total of 105 responses were obtained, where 98.1% of respondents reported wearing a mask, 83.8% reported using alcohol gel, 73.7% practiced social distancing, 42.9% did not get sick and 28.6% took the swab test only once. A higher number of participants were seen to drink a daily dose of alcohol, an increase from 28% in 2019 to 32% in the pandemic. About the interviewees, 24.5% declared not to attend bars and 90.5% did not attend parties. The frequency of alcohol consumption for once and twice a week decreased from 61% in 2019 to 50.5% and from 21% to 14.3%, respectively, in the pandemic. On the other hand, an increase in the frequency of alcohol consumption was observed for three, four, five, six and seven times (every day) a week. These work reveals an increase in alcohol consumption in the pandemic by volunteers. It is possible that participants who ingested larger volumes and did not wear a mask or practice social isolation, had the flu and took the swab test more often. |
