This is a quantitative and descriptive study. An auto-administrated instrumented was applied to 43 teachers. The study variables were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. It was observed that, in a general and indirect way, the teachers' actions focused on the institutional and sociocultural protection factors, since a large part of the developed activities mainly refer to: Stimulating healthy habits, school climate, recreation, group strengthening and integration, interaction and participation in institutions and society. There is a need for the teachers to implement reformulated direct and concrete actions to solve the alcohol problem among pre-school students, with a view to a greater social impact.
