Clinical quiz
Test your knowledge – alcohol
Abstract
General practitioners are in an excellent position to detect alcohol abuse and to intervene to prevent physical, psychological and social effects. Despite general pessimism about the treatment of alcohol dependence, there is good evidence that clear advice about excessive drinking does have an effect. There are also new drugs on the PBS that have been shown to help some people keep sober.
