title: [A comparison of the life habits of abstemious patients and drinkers].
abstract: The life habits of 358 males abstemious (ABS) and 248 male risky or with harmful alcohol consumption (BRD) are compared; selected from the patients attending to a clinic of familiar medicine, of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) and to General Hospital of the Secretaria de Salubridad y Asistencia (SSA). BRD are different from ABS because of a sedentary life, tobacco consumption, higher frequency of other drug use, poor nutrition, over weighted and poor physical condition. The difference between ABS and BRD is not only due to the alcohol consumption and related problems, but two groups of individuals with different ways of life. The present paper shows the first Mexican results of an International Multicentric Investigation coordinated by World Health Organization (WHO).
