In particular, it is interested in examining the critical discourses and actions that were deployed at the union level in an attempt to curb and contain the consumption of alcoholic drinks. It focuses on Regeneración, a silent film drama released in the country at the end of 1927 and produced for propaganda purposes by La Fraternidad, the locomotive workers' union. The research seeks to understand the practices and spaces of alcohol consumption that existed among railway workers, and which formed part of their daily sociability, and the condemnation that the railway unions launched against the widespread worker's habit of drinking. It is particularly interested in investigating how these were crossed by gender tensions, norms and prescriptions that attributed certain meanings and moral values to the consumption of alcohol and its effects on workers and the working-class family. In order to achieve its objectives, the article uses a documentary corpus composed mainly of trade union press and documentation, but cross-referenced by magazines and newspapers of the time, government documents and workers' memoirs. Este artículo se propone explorar los vínculos que unieron a los trabajadores ferroviarios y el alcohol en la Argentina de los años 20 y, en especial, los discursos críticos y acciones que a nivel gremial se desplegaron en un intento por frenar y contener el consumo de bebidas. Para ello pone el foco en Regeneración, un drama del cine mudo estrenado en el país a fines de 1927 y producido con fines propagandísticos por La Fraternidad, sindicato del personal de locomotoras. La investigación busca conocer tanto las prácticas y espacios de consumo de alcohol existentes entre los trabajadores del riel, y que formaban parte de su sociabilidad cotidiana, como la condena que los sindicatos ferroviarios lanzaron contra la extendida costumbre obrera de la bebida. En particular, indaga cómo estas estuvieron atravesadas por tensiones, normas y prescripciones de género que atribuyeron determinados sentidos y valoraciones morales al consumo de alcohol y sus efectos sobre los trabajadores y la familia obrera. Para lograr sus objetivos, el artículo se vale de un corpus documental compuesto principalmente por prensa y documentación sindical, pero entrecruzado por revistas y periódicos de la época, documentos gubernamentales y memorias obreras.
