In a prospective study at Aker hospital in Norway, chronic alcohol abuse was the cause of five per cent (48 of 980) of the medical admissions. The alcohol abusers were approximately ten years younger than the other patients. Eighty per cent were men, and fifty-four per cent were single. Most of the admissions (90%) were acute. Gastrointestinal diseases, psychiatric disorders and intoxications dominated among the alcohol abusers. The cost of treatment was lower, however, for the alcohol abusers than for other patients, because the former seldom needed expensive treatment and the stay in hospital was often short.
