METHOD quantitative and cross-sectional correlation study using structural equations analysis to test the relation among the variables. RESULTS an inverse relation was evidenced between vulnerability to alcohol consumption and spiritual transcendence (β-0.123, p 0.025) and a direct positive relation between spiritual transcendence and psychosocial well-being (β 0.482, p 0.000).
