Our present understanding of the many effects of chronic ethanol consumption originated mostly from the use of an experimental model in which animals were maintained on a liquid diet that provided 36% of the total calories as alcohol. Since this diet was considered to be nutritionally adequate, a concept developed that the observed effects were due to the toxicity of alcohol and its metabolites rather than malnutrition. However, several biologic effects can be attributed to a reduced carbohydrate ingestion that accompanies chronic alcohol consumption.
我们目前对长期饮酒诸多影响的理解，大多源于一种实验模型的运用，即让动物食用一种液体饮食，其中酒精提供总热量的36%。由于这种饮食被认为营养充足，于是形成了一种观念，即观察到的影响是由于酒精及其代谢产物的毒性，而非营养不良。然而，一些生物学效应可归因于长期饮酒伴随的碳水化合物摄入减少。
