Sumario:Introduction: Sedentary lifestyles, without nutritional control and habitual alcohol consumption could be increasing the health risks in the university population. Objective: To analyze the differences in lifestyles with respect to the habitual intake of nutrients, energy expenditure and physical activity according to the consumption of alcohol in university students. Methodology: Descriptive-correlational, longitudinal study with two measurements in a sample of 67 students from the health area (2017 and 2020). Current university students who voluntarily agreed to participate were included. A personal data card, the 24-hour multi-step Reminder, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were applied, and body composition was measured. Inferential analyzes with correlation tests, Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon test. Results: 54.2% of women and 73.7% of men reported currently consuming alcohol. Differences were observed regarding total energy expenditure and carbohydrate intake between those who consume and do not consume alcohol (p <.05). In both groups, protein consumption was associated with lipid intake (p <.01). Between measurements, differences were found regarding body mass index, total caloric consumption, and total energy expenditure (p <.03). Conclusion: In this sample, alcohol consumption led to differences regarding higher body composition, caloric consumption, and energy expenditure, which may influence a greater possibility of excess weight in university students.
