U.S. Pharmacist, 08/24/09
Markel A et al. – Alcohol abuse continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It results in more than 100,000 deaths and accumulates $185 billion in health care costs annually. In 2006, the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reported that approximately 51.8% of Americans 12 years of age and older consumed alcohol, and of these, 1 out of 5 reported binge drinking, defined as having five or more drinks on one occasion, occurring at least within 30 days of the survey. It is well understood that chronic alcohol dependence negatively affects many organs in the human body. Among the common organs, alcohol–induced pancreatitis is less prevalent and least understood, but it is known to be extremely painful and potentially fatal to the patient.
