    Alcohol consumption represents a significant public health problem, especially in the university setting, where it is socially accepted despite its negative consequences, and where contextual factors and stage of development interact. Personality, based on the Big Five model, is a key predictor of this behavior. The study linked personality factors and alcohol consumption in Ecuadorian university students. A quantitative, non- experimental, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted with 369 university students (76.4% women) aged 18 to 25 years, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling and sample size calculation. Data were obtained using the Ecuadorian adaptation of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), the Spanish adaptation of the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FII), and a sociodemographic form developed by the authors. The analysis revealed a weak positive correlation between Extraversion and alcohol consumption (r = .179, p = .001), and negative correlations with Agreeableness (r = -.252, p < .001) and Conscientiousness (r = -.210, p < .001). The predominant factor was Neuroticism (M = 25.50), and 56.1% of students reported occasional alcohol consumption. In summary, there is a significant association between the proposed variables. The presence and absence of associations are discussed based on the related scientific literature. These findings provide valuable evidence for the development of preventive interventions based on the psychological profile of students in the Ecuadorian context.
