[ES] Objetivo: en el presente trabajo se analiza a partir de los textos médicos el proceso de construcción del alcoholismo como patología en España. Material y métodos: se analiza la información disponible durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y primeras décadas del XX. Resultados: se demuestra que a pesar de definir el alcoholismo como una enfermedad, los médicos no rompieron con la visión social preexistente del problema, que consideraba el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas como un vicio ligado a comportamientos antisociales. Conclusiones: por tanto, desde la medicina se mantuvo una posición ambigüa ante el alcoholismo que osciló entre el vicio y la enfermedad y que finalmente primó el discurso moral sobre el científico.
[EN] Objective: in this paper we study the alcoholism in Spain during the 2nd half of the XIXth century and early XXth C. Material and methods: the available information regarding 2nd half of the XIXth century and early XXth C was analyzed. Results: in the spite of their consideration as an illness, we focus on how the doctors did not break up with the preexistent social image of the drunk. Conclusions: the doctors maintained an ambiguous thesis on the alcoholism, between vice and illness, a vision where moral discuorse straped the scientific one.
