ABSTRACT
The drinking history and current medical history of patients with alcohol dependence were surveyed and they were analyzed by gender, age and changes with time (2 stages). The results showed that in the course of continued habitual drinking by patients with alcohol dependence, a wide range of physical complications occurred. The main complications in men were gastrointestinal diseases and in women were mental and behavioral disorders, showing a gender difference in the medical history. This result suggested that there is a high possibility that this will contribute to early discovery and early measures against alcohol related problems in women, which are difficult to bring out into the open. Better alcohol education including mental health is important from an early age.
