[Impact of alcoholism mortality on the entire population and on the active French population].

Starting from the estimation of alcohol assigned deaths in the different causes of death of the CIM, 8th revision, the impact of alcoholism on the active and total french populations is measured using two demographic indices, life expectancy and active life expectancy, and the data of the year 1978. This impact is the same as accidents' one; for men it is more than double of the result obtained when "Alcoholic psychosis and alcoholism" and "Cirrhosis" causes of death are considered alone.
