The manuscript presents a cross-sectional analysis of facets of the personality of college student’s utilizing indicators of risk and damage related to alcohol consumption. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to divide a randomly selected non-probabilistic group of 75 students in a group of 40 students with hazardous and harmful patterns of alcohol consumption and a group of 35 students not showing these symptoms. The personality of the individuals in both group were characterized using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory test (NEO PI-R), measuring six facets of the five personality dimension. Results of the group of students with high alcohol consumption show that a higher prevalence of alcohol misuse is present in men (77.5%), single (97.5%), enrolled in the third and fourth semester (47.5%), being 21 years old on average. Significant differences were noticed between both groups in the personality domain of extraversion and facets of hostility, gregariousness, excitement-seeking, positive emotions, actions, self-discipline and deliberation.
