Vie majority of the subject were between the age of 30 to 50 years and had more than 10 year's history of alcohol abuse. 19.26% of the subjects had to be invalided out of service. 66.09% remained under various categories of observation after the treatment. At the end of two year's follow-up only 12% of them had recovered completely. Preventive measures in the light of state policies are discussed.
