Therefore, this study focused to identify the level of alcohol consumption and its associated factors particularly among Nepali migrant workers in Shah Alam, Selangor.  A cross-sectional study using a convenient sampling method was conducted among 233 Nepali migrant workers in Shah Alam, Selangor using a self-administered questionnaire. A validated scoring system by DASS 21 and The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test was employed.  The results show that 60.09% of Nepali workers consumed alcohol with most of them are in low (31.43%) and medium (29.28%) risk level for alcohol consumption. The empirical findings reveal a significant association between income, education level, and peer pressure (p value<.001 respectively) with alcohol consumption. However, the study found no association between age, marital status, years of working, and body mass index (p value= 0.44, 0.19, 0.42, 0.40 respectively) with alcohol consumption. In a conclusion, most Nepali migrant workers consume alcohol but in low and medium risk severity for alcohol consumption. The results highlight sociodemographic factors such as income and education as well as peer pressure among important factors affecting alcohol consumption.</p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Public Health Research}, author={Faisal Ghazi, Hasanain and Abdalqader, Mohammed and Baobaid, Mohammed Faez and Ariffin, Indang Ariati and Fatima, Mariam-Aisha and Mohd Azhar, Afrisya Adlina and Ma’arof, Muhammad Mukhlis and Hassan, Mohd Rohaizat}, year={2021}, month={Aug.} }
