This study evaluated the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with religiosity among 12-year-old students, from Diamantina, State of Minas Gerais. Statistical analyses involved chi-square Pearson (p < 0,05) and Poisson regression with robust variance. The sample included a census of 588 students. Participation in religious activities was associated with no binge drinking (PR = 0,823; 95% CI: 0,717 - 0,945); and consumption of alcoholic beverages by the best friend was associated with binge drinking (PR = 1.554; 95% CI: 1,411-1,711). It was concluded that religiosity was associated with no consumption of alcoholic beverages in binge drinking sessions.
