This paper deals with the repercussion of some habits present in popular nighttime sociability linked to consumption of alcoholic beverages. Based on research in two printed newspapers of Pelotas in the 1930s, A Alvorada and A Opiniao Publica, this approach seeks to observe, in the context of a nightlife that experienced the growing access of the working masses, how the leisure of bars and pubs was perceived and communicated in these periodicals. While an intrinsic part of the euphoria and apprehension that composed the ambivalent imaginary of the press when dealing with drunkenness, humour appears as a unique narrative resource in the transmission of this sociability. The efforts contained here aim at understanding the entanglements that shape this object, pointing out what it carries of singular and universal through space and time.
