The modern techniques used in making reliable nutritional surveys and in assessing the nutritional status of alcoholic individuals have greatly improved our possibilities to determine the nutrient intake and to detect nutritional deficiencies in alcoholics from different social groups. In earlier studies, the rather high incidence of malnutrition in alcoholics can be related to the patients consisting of indigent, skid row alcoholics or patients with severe somatic complications. Later studies have revealed that nutritional deficiencies are rare among middle-class alcoholics without significant somatic complications. However, selective nutritional deficiencies may be found among lower-income and homeless alcoholic populations.
用于进行可靠的营养调查以及评估酗酒者营养状况的现代技术，极大地提高了我们确定营养素摄入量以及检测不同社会群体酗酒者营养缺乏情况的可能性。在早期研究中，酗酒者中相当高的营养不良发生率可能与由贫困潦倒、流浪街头的酗酒者或患有严重躯体并发症的患者组成的群体有关。后来的研究表明，在没有明显躯体并发症的中产阶级酗酒者中，营养缺乏情况很少见。然而，在低收入和无家可归的酗酒人群中可能会发现选择性的营养缺乏。
