A statistical analysis of suicides committed by alcoholic patients demonstrated that the suicidal risk of this group is the highest in comparison with any other mental disorder. Most of the alcoholic patients (64%) committed suicide not in psychotic conditions, but in affective states in the form of alcoholic dysphoria or reactions of protest and despair in the presence of psychotraumatizing situations. It is for this reason that alcoholic patients with suicidal ideas and tendencies having no signs of alcoholic psychosis, even in an alcoholic intoxication should be urgently hospitalized.
对酒精性患者自杀情况的统计分析表明，与任何其他精神障碍相比，该群体的自杀风险最高。大多数酒精性患者（64%）并非在精神病状态下自杀，而是在情感状态下自杀，表现为酒精性烦躁不安，或在存在精神创伤性情况时出现抗议和绝望反应。正因如此，即使处于酒精中毒状态，有自杀想法和倾向但无酒精性精神病迹象的酒精性患者也应紧急住院治疗。
