Objective: to describe the councilmen’s knowledge about the use of alcohol and the repercussions on the users’ health. Method: a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, developed in the City Council of a municipality in the extreme north of Brazil, in the Amazon region. The data was obtained through an interview with a semi-structured script, processed in the IRaMuTeQ software and analyzed in the word cloud, through the analysis of similarity and the Descending Hierarchical Classification, through the dendrogram. Results: the highlighted word was “no”, demonstrating a disapproval, by the legislators, about the use of alcohol by the population and the negative repercussions on the users’ health, as well as a limitation of scientific and technical knowledge about the theme, exposing, in the majority, ideas that are only common sense and in a generalized way. Conclusion: it points out the need to create a parliamentary training center in order to implement effective policies for the alcohol using population.
