title: Drinking habits and occupational exposure to xenobiotics: a review.
abstract: The evaluation of health status of workers exposed to a variety of chemicals is usually performed by means of several laboratory indices. Our aim is to review literature data in order to evaluate the influence of some lifestyle characteristics (alcohol intake) on these parameters. Since alcohol intake is responsible for a modification of some laboratory parameters in healthy workers, the medical surveillance of workers exposed to chemicals should include a careful evaluation of alcohol intake.
