Abstract
A survey was made on the bathing habits of 36 male alcoholics who were outpatients of my clinic.<br>The following results were obtained.<br>1) Eighty-three percent of these patients had a habit of bathing while drunk.<br>2) Although most of patients (94.4%) were aware of the risk of bathing after taking alcohol, they thought it was safe for themselves.<br>3) Thirty-three percent of the patients had circulatory diseases such as hypertension and arrythmia and 16.7% had liver cirrhosis.<br>4) When bathing after taking alcohol, 30.0% of the patients (9) felt subjective symptoms (palpitation in 5 patients, dizziness in 3, and fast breathing in 1). Six of these patients had experienced hypertension.<br>Alcoholism often recurs, and patients with alcoholism become heavy drinkers easily. To prevent complications in connection with alcoholism and to improve their quality of life, I believe an education program is necessary to teach them the dangers of bathing while drunk.
