Abstract

As I commented previously, alcoholism is by far the addiction with the highest prevalence and incidence in our country; only in 2011 were detected around six million people with a harmful consumption of alcohol, and that they developed some of the 52 diverse conditions already described. And it is not only the liver, with its sequence of intoxication, congestion, hepatic steatosis (some call it fatty liver), hepatitis, cirrhosis and some even liver cancer; we also have alcoholic pancreatitis, heart disease (alcoholic cardiomyopathy), mental problems such as Wernicke’s disease or Korsakoff’s psychosis, chronic depression very resistant to drugs, as well as less frequent Marchiafava-Bignami syndrome, polyneuropathies (the second most frequent being alcoholic).
