Abstract

Set in the context of the expansion of psychiatric hospitals, hospices and asylums in Brazil, this paper aims to analyze and problematize the hygienist debates and conceptions about alcoholism in the first half of the 20th century, especially in the 1920s and 1930s. The work aims to problematize the reasons that led the doctors of the Liga Brasileira de Higiene Mental (LBHM) to adhere to an anti-alcohol project in the name of a civilized and progressive society. To this end, the writings published by doctors in the periodical Arquivo Brasileiro de Higiene Mental (ABHM), for which the LBHM is responsible, are important sources for our purpose.
