This Ph.D dissertation based on ethnographical research performed in Pimentel Barbosa and Etenhiritipá indigenous villages in state of Mato Grosso, city of Canarana, investigates a specific process of alcoolization. This ultimate process can not be classified as constructive drinking. The Dependence Alcohol Syndrome (DAS) directly means chronical disease named alcoholism, but this concept is inadequate to a preview diagnosis of individuals or to understand an entire collectivity of Xavante people relation to a industrial alcoholic beverages. This research is not an epidemiological study with statistical quantity, frequency and other factors utilized to measure health indigenous diseases. This qualitative anthropological research has turned into an interdisciplinary study, then scientifical developments about alcohol use in Heath Sciences and in Social Sciences too have been interconnected here. Despite, there is a new neuroscience perspective to which body, brain and mind are inseparable. This postulate makes no division between reason and emotion. Cells and symbols are profoundly interrelated, when Xavante individuals take decisions based on the complexity of their emotions and sentiments actuated by person during body and mental experience. Alcohol ingestion influences the biochemistry of the human body, although this influence is not decisive to a social action of the subject. Memory was constructed inside culture and Xavante ethos by autonomy of individual s self decision and relationships between old/ new generations. Based on dynamics of emotional individuals balance in relation to indigenous villages and urban spaces are the construction of new memories. But Xavante individuals can change their perception with alcohol usage and feel quite different from when they haven t taken alcoholic beverages. Then, the essence of community, the corporal and substance of the collective physical-mental feeling begin to disappear from individuals memory with alcohol deregulated ingestion. In result, Xavante people s sentiment demonstrates a kind of metamorphosis
