Abstract	Alcohol abuse is a burden that co st approximately 14.6 billions dollars to the Canadian society. Specifically for workers, the costs are attributable to lost of productivity in terms of absenteeism, discharges, illriess, accidents, violence, resignations and lost of motivation. Our principal objective was to find out if sorne occupations and/or industries are associated to alcohol abuse in a representative sample of Canadians workers. Second1y, we wanted to know if gender had a moderating effect on these relations. Our results demonstrate that five occupations have been found significantly associated to alcohol abuse, but no industry were significantly associated to the problem. The five occupations associated to alcohol abuse are the transportation officers and controllers, occupations in food and beverage service, technical sales services and wholesale trade, manager in food service and accommodation and trades helpers and labourers. Stress deriving from workplace conditions in those occupations may be a factor influencing workers alcohol abuse. About gender moderating effect, methodological problems occurred and we have not been able to obtain reliable results. These results can actually help governments in orientation policies trying to reduce the burden of mental illness in the work place. More resources should be allocated to research, prevention and intervention in these occupations that contribute to the etiology of alcohol abuse for Canadian workers.
