title: Fluoride content of alcoholic beverages.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In view of the conflicting reports of the extent and severity of dental caries in alcohol misusing subjects, a systematic survey of the fluoride content of alcoholic beverages was undertaken.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The fluoride content of beverages varied widely particularly if non-UK European products were considered.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Beers brewed in locations with high fluoride water levels may contribute significantly to the daily fluoride intake, particularly in alcohol misusing subjects and this may contribute to alcohol-associated bone disease.
