After heart disease and cancer, alcoholism is America's third largest health problem; it affects 10 million people, costs $ 60 billion, and is implicated in 200 000 deaths annually. Alcohol is involved in 50% of deaths by motor vehicle and fire, 67% of murders, and 33% of suicides.

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1990
Ethyl alcohol is readily available and is, therefore, a frequent cause of poisoning. Alcohol is also an important substance of abuse. The author discusses the approaches to medicolegal alcohol determinations. The pharmacokinetics of alcohol are explained, and ramifications for substance abuse testing are examined.

Alcohol consumption affects overall mortality. Light to moderate alcohol consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease; epidemiological, physiological and genetic data show a causal relationship. Light to moderate drinking is also associated with a reduced risk of other vascular diseases and probably of type 2 diabetes.

Alcohol exerts a series of different effects, especially when ingested chronically, and alcoholism is a rather complex, heterogeneous disease. Genetic factors may be implicated on various levels such as metabolism, acute effects, tolerance, dependence, and medical complications. This presentation will be arranged in three parts: (1) The main results of

Alcohol Control Policies, Alcohol Consumption, and Alcoholism
The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, 1981This study evaluates the implications of two alcoholism prevention models. The single distribution (log-normal) model posits that the average level of consumption in a society is sufficient to account for the rate of alcoholism; the sociocultural model suggests that variables other than consumption account for alcoholism.

Diabetes, 1975
Twenty-four chronic alcohol abusers hospitalized during a twenty-seven-month period were suspected of having “alcoholic ketoacidosis” because they had ketonuria or ketonemia with little or no glucosuria. Twenty-one had moderate or severe ketosis, with plasma 3-hydroxybutyrate of 5.2 to 22.5 mmol/L.

Alcohol dementia and alcohol delirium in aged alcoholics
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1996Abstract In the present study, 126 alcoholics aged 60 years or older were compared with 104 alcoholics aged 35–45 years. No dementia was found in the younger group, whereas 62.7% of the aged patients had dementia; the dementia being irreversible in 32.9% of such patients.

Alcohol, Alcoholism, and Cancer
Medical Clinics of North America, 1984Certain types of cancer are clearly associated with alcohol abuse, although the role of ethanol in carcinogenesis--as a carcinogen, co-carcinogen, promoter, or "innocent bystander"--is not known with certainty. The impact of alcohol abuse on the management of the patient with cancer is also discussed.
