Abstract

Ethanol is the most commonly used drug in Australasia and elsewhere in the Western world. Ethanol misuse is a major cause of mortality and morbidity both directly and indirectly and emergency departments deal with the result of this misuse on a daily basis. It was estimated that in 1997, 3290 Australians died from injury due to high risk drinking and there were 72 302 hospitalizations.
