[Alcohol dependence. Financial aspect and socio-occupational consequences].
The financial cost of alcohol dependence was evaluated in 133 alcoholic patients. The main amount of money spent daily on alcoholic beverages was 94 French francs, a figure that was unrelated to the patients' monthly incomes and highest in those living alone and in those drinking exclusively out of home. These results suggest that the economic cost of alcohol dependence plays a key role in the socio-professional degradation of alcoholics.
