In Western countries alcohol is a socially accepted drug and its use is on the increase. Accordingly, the number of alcoholics is also increasing. An important task of the general practitioner is first to recognize that a patient has a drinking problem, and then to help him/her to acknowledge and come to terms with the situation. Additionally he must motivate the patients to accept the need for suitable treatment and initiate it. Prevention of alcoholism, however, is not a matter of the medical profession alone, but is first and foremost a problem of our society. For a remedial approach to be effective, interdisciplinary cooperation between internists, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers is a must, and here the general practitioner has a coordinating function to fulfill.
在西方国家，酒精是一种社会认可的毒品，其使用呈上升趋势。因此，酗酒者的数量也在增加。全科医生的一项重要任务是首先识别出患者存在饮酒问题，然后帮助他/她认识到并接受这种情况。此外，他必须激励患者接受适当治疗的必要性并开始治疗。然而，酗酒的预防不仅仅是医学专业的问题，首先也是我们社会的问题。为了使补救方法有效，内科医生、心理学家、精神科医生和社会工作者之间的跨学科合作是必不可少的，而全科医生在这里要发挥协调作用。
