A survey was made on the bathing habits of 36 male alcoholics who were outpatients of my clinic.The following results were obtained.1) Eighty-three percent of these patients had a habit of bathing while drunk.2) Although most of patients (94.4%) were aware of the risk of bathing after taking alcohol, they thought it was safe for themselves.3) Thirty-three percent of the patients had circulatory diseases such as hypertension and arrythmia and 16.7% had liver cirrhosis.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.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.
