The relationship between daily ethanol consumption, haematological and hepatic indices of toxicity and severity of alcohol dependence in problem drinkers presenting at a district general hospital.
Daily ethanol consumption, routine laboratory tests and severity of alcohol dependence were investigated in a sample of 127 problem-drinkers, presenting at a district general hospital. Ethanol consumption correlated significantly with severity of dependence, but not with laboratory tests of haematological and hepatic toxicity.
