Absence due to sickness of 25 chronic alcoholics in a Swiss Federal company was compared with that of 75 control subjects parallelized as far as possible. Only those alcoholics were studied who worked in the company throughout the observation period (1966-1975) and whose records with the Federal Medical Service bore the diagnosis "chronic alcoholism". Through shortterm absences (up to 3 days) the alcoholics lost 1.7 days annually compared with 0.9 days for the control group. The average number of shortterm absences among the alcoholics was 0.8 and 0.4 in the control group. Through absences due to illness or accidents (absences of more than 3 days) the alcholics lost 22.3 days annually compared with 7.0 days for controls. The average number of longterm absences was 0.7 for alcoholics and 0.4 for controls. The average cost of absenteeism was 3193.10 Swiss francs for the alcholics and 790.80 Swiss francs for each member of the control group. First notification of alcohol problems of an employee came from within the company in 80% of cases. Striking features were mainly drinking before and during work and erratic time-keeping. In 88% of cases the treatment was disulfiram cure and supportive psychotherapy in 12%. In the next 3 years 4 alcoholics (30.7%) had further episodes of drinking, while 9 (69.3%) showed no sign of alcohol abuse. 12 alcoholics could not be assessed asfollow-up was too short.
对瑞士一家联邦公司的25名慢性酗酒者因疾病导致的缺勤情况与75名尽可能匹配的对照组受试者进行了比较。仅对那些在整个观察期（1966 - 1975年）内在该公司工作且其联邦医疗服务记录中有“慢性酒精中毒”诊断的酗酒者进行了研究。通过短期缺勤（最多3天），酗酒者每年损失1.7天，而对照组为0.9天。酗酒者短期缺勤的平均次数为0.8次，对照组为0.4次。通过因病或事故导致的缺勤（缺勤超过3天），酗酒者每年损失22.3天，而对照组为7.0天。长期缺勤的平均次数酗酒者为0.7次，对照组为0.4次。酗酒者旷工的平均成本为3193.10瑞士法郎，对照组每名成员为790.80瑞士法郎。员工酒精问题的首次通报80%来自公司内部。显著特征主要是在工作前和工作期间饮酒以及不守时。在88%的案例中，治疗方法是使用双硫仑，12%采用支持性心理治疗。在接下来的3年里，4名酗酒者（30.7%）再次出现饮酒情况，而9名（69.3%）没有酒精滥用迹象。12名酗酒者因随访时间过短无法进行评估。
