The problem of alcohol abuse and alcoholism pervades our society. The economic losses run into billions of dollars annually. What is more important is the number of fatalities associated with the problem and the effect of alcohol on decision-making processes within all areas of government and nongovernment. The pathologist must understand the fundamental diagnostic processes, recognize the anatomic and clinical findings, and treat alcoholism as a medical problem.
酒精滥用和酗酒问题在我们的社会中普遍存在。每年的经济损失高达数十亿美元。更重要的是与该问题相关的死亡人数，以及酒精对政府和非政府各领域决策过程的影响。病理学家必须了解基本的诊断过程，识别解剖学和临床发现，并将酗酒视为一个医学问题。
