Abstract
We propose analyzing the link between social knowledge about the consequences of alcohol consumption, with the alcoholic prohibitions implemented in Yucatán during covid-19; this ethnographic study took place in the state municipality of Cuzamá from 2016 to 2017 from a critical medical anthropological stance with a relational approach. The information on prohibitions and their effects was documented during 2020. This ethnographical study shows a culture ambivalent toward alcohol and its health consequences, along with a preference for collective consumption and a de-pendence that exceeds the biomedical-individual criteria. Alcoholic prohibitions confirm the tensión between positivity and negativity, between the ideal and the reality of consumption. Despite the questions that remain, such as going further in depth regarding“collective dependence”, we consider this article to be an important contribution due to its approaches, and a valuable input for the analysis of public policies for alcohol consumption in Mexico.
