ABSTRACT
A four-week survey was performed into the incidence of alcohol related problems in the acute medical receiving unit, and the prevalence of alcohol related cases in a ward shared between two gastroenterologists and an endocrinologist. Alcohol related conditions were the commonest reason for acute admission (19%). Gastroenterologists, in contrast to their colleagues have a substantial workload related to alcohol, especially chronic liver disease. These patients have longer lengths of stay with higher morbidity and mortality than those without alcohol related conditions. The reason for these differences and the implications for service planning are discussed.
