To investigate the consumption of alcohol among emergency room patients, we included 395 patients above 18 years old entering the emergency room during a period of ten days. The patients completed a questionnaire about alcohol consumption, smoking habits and medication. In our investigation 56% of the men and 25% of the women had a daily consumption above the limits recommended by the Ministry of Health (three drinks daily for men and two for women), while 41% men and 14% women consumed at least five drinks daily or 35 per week. Trauma seen in male patients with high alcohol consumption was characterised by excessive damage to the head, trauma of the lower limb and blows from an object, person or an animal. The alcoholic women were characterised by excessive chemical injuries, incisions and stab wounds, and trauma of the upper limb. In conclusion a surprisingly large amount of emergency room patients can be defined as alcohol abusers and drinking is found to be associated with excessive damage.
为了调查急诊室患者的饮酒情况，我们纳入了在十天内进入急诊室的395名18岁以上患者。这些患者完成了一份关于饮酒、吸烟习惯和用药情况的问卷。在我们的调查中，56%的男性和25%的女性每日饮酒量超过了卫生部建议的限量（男性每日三杯，女性每日两杯），而41%的男性和14%的女性每天至少饮用五杯或每周饮用35杯。饮酒量高的男性患者所受创伤的特点是头部损伤过重、下肢创伤以及来自物体、人或动物的打击。酗酒女性的特点是化学损伤过重、切割伤和刺伤以及上肢创伤。总之，数量惊人的急诊室患者可被定义为酗酒者，且发现饮酒与过度损伤有关。
