摘要:"These five chapters provide a comprehensive, yet succinct review of the body of evidence produced on a worldwide basis concerning both beneficial and adverse effects associated with alcohol consumption, emphasizing the importance and variability of the dose-effect relationship and the resulting sometimes opposite effects. Better understanding of the pathogenesis involved will allow for a more rational and practical application of these findings to patient care, both in terms of their immediate implementation and for some possible future therapeutic approaches."--Pages 5-6.
