Abstract

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol, C2H5OH) is one of the most widely disputed dependence-producing drugs. Knowledge of its biologic properties is essential for research workers in all fields of medicine, because it belongs to the endogenous substances as well as to the exogenous biologically active compounds used in various medical procedures. The knowledge of ethanol pharmacology is important for all physicians and health workers, from the professors in various fields of medicine down to the “bare-foot doctors” working in the bush. The widespread, worldwide use of ethanol causes it to be the substance which most frequently may enter into interaction with medicaments. Thus its clinically important interactions should be well known to health workers at all levels. Its influence upon human psychological activity and behavior has been the subject of study by psychologists and sociologists. The consequences of its use, including particularly long-term use leading to dependence, are enormous and must be taken into consideration by all research disciplines and political sciences dealing with the problems of modern society. Morbidity and mortality associated with alcohol use make it a major public health problem.
