“…These are fairly average numbers for Europe, which generally has the best pattern of drinking scores in a global comparison (aside from some countries in Northern and Central-Eastern Europe). Mainly due to the increase in bingeing outlined above, Spain's pattern of drinking score may increase if current trends continue.Both average volume of alcohol consumption and patterns of drinking were combined to calculate alcohol-related health harms (for general discussion (Rehm et al, 2004;Rehm et al, 2010a)), the methods used to calculate the number of alcohol attributable deaths are outlined in web appendix 2 and the sources for Relative Risks are outlined in web appendix 3. …”

“…Since the average age for alcohol-attributable deaths is relatively low (Rehm, Taylor, & Room, 2006), the proportion of alcohol-attributable deaths always is higher in premature deaths compared to all deaths. Second, the Spanish study used an earlier version of a US standard software to determine attributable fractions, which does not include the latest knowledge with respect to alcohol-attributable mortality (Rehm et al, 2010a).With respect to Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) in 2004, 26,502 and 110,562 PYLL were estimated to be due to the detrimental health effects of alcohol for women and men respectively aged 15 to 64 years. PYLL are a statistic, where not only the number of deaths is relevant but also when in the life course the death occurred.…”

Resumen AbstractAlcohol consumption in Spain has traditionally followed the Mediterranean drinking pattern, featuring daily drinking with meals, beer as the preferred beverage, and comparatively little drinking to intoxication. Alcohol dependence (AD), one of the most detrimental disorders caused by alcohol, was prevalent in 0.2% of women and 1.2% of men, corresponding to 31,200 women and 186,000 men in Spain with AD in 2005 in the age group of 15 to 64 year. These prevalence estimates of alcohol dependence are likely underestimated due to limitations in the World Mental Health Survey which cannot be fully corrected for; however, the estimates of AD for Spain represent the most accurate and up to date estimates available. Alcohol creates a significant health burden in Spain with 11.3 premature deaths in women per 100,000 aged 15 to 64 years, and 40.9 premature deaths in men per 100,000 in the same age group were due to alcohol consumption (data for 2004). This amounts to 8.4% of all female deaths and 12.3% of all the male deaths in this age group being attributable to alcohol consumption. A large percentage of these harms were due to heavy alcohol consumption and AD. AD is undertreated in Spain, with less than 10% of all people with AD treated. For those who are treated, psychotherapy is the most utilized form of treatment to avoid relapse. If 40% of AD patients in Spain were treated with pharmacological treatment (the most effective treatment method), 2.2% of female and 6.2% of male deaths due to AD would be prevented within one year. Thus by increasing treatment rates is an important means of reducing the alcohol-attributable mortality and health burden in Spain.Key Words: Alcohol, dependence, mortality, treatment, Spain.El consumo de alcohol en España ha seguido tradicionalmente los patrones mediterráneos: consumo diario en las comidas, preferentemente cerveza y comparativamente poco consumo dirigido a la intoxicación. La dependencia alcohólica (AD), una de las enfermedades más deteriorantes provocadas por el alcohol, tiene una prevalencia del 0.2% en mujeres y del 1.2% en hombres, lo que significa que unas 31,200 mujeres y 186,000 hombres en España padecían AD en 2005 en el grupo etario comprendido entre 15 y 64 años. Estas prevalencias son probablemente estimaciones a la baja, debidas básicamente a limitaciones en el World Mental Health Survey que no son susceptibles de ser corregidas. Sin embargo, dichas estimaciones son las mas actualizadas y fiables en la actualidad. El alcohol genera importantes costes para la salud en España: 11.3 muertes prematuras por 100.000 en mujeres entre 15 y 64 años, y 40.9 muertes prematuras por 100.000 hombres en el mismo grupo etario fueron debidas al consumo de alcohol (datos del 2004). Ello significa que el 8.4% de todas las muertes en mujeres y el 12.3% en varones de este grupo etario son atribuibles al alcohol. Un elevado porcentaje de estas muertes fueron debidas al consumo muy elevado de alcohol y a la AD. La AD está infratratada en España. Menos del 10% de los afectad...

“…No caso da hipertensão, o efeito da ingestão em excesso de álcool é particularmente nocivo 30 . Além disso, existe uma associação similar no consumo de álcool e ocorrência de fibrilação atrial 31 . Em outra instância, a doença isquêmica cardíaca é favorecida pelo grande consumo de substâncias alcoólicas 32 .…”
