    Background: Current higher education is characterized by high levels of stress and academic demands faced by university students. The problem of excessive academic pressure can lead to negative consequences such as anxiety and stress. These aspects affect the mental health of university students who face this problem by consuming psychotropic substances. Objectives: The research aimed to determine the prevalence of stress and its relationship with alcohol consumption among medical students at the University of Cuenca. Methods: A crosssectional analytical study was conducted in which the SISCO inventory was applied to determine academic stress and the AUDIT test to determine alcohol consumption. The sample consisted of 181 medical students. SPSS version 15 software was used for data processing. Results: 86.2% of medical students at the University of Cuenca experience academic stress, with the majority of them (56.4%) classified with a moderate level of stress according to the SISCO inventory. Regarding alcohol consumption, only 6.6% of students showed detectable consumption according to the AUDIT test. No statistically significant association was found between academic stress and alcohol consumption. Conclusion: Our study found a higher prevalence of academic stress compared to other international studies. Conversely, regarding alcohol consumption, it is lower compared to other studies.
