ETOH Data base

Research literature and clinical books are all present in this comprehensive data base on alcohol and alcohol related disease. Abstracts are returned, and the search engine is similar to that used for Medline searching. If you enter the word "nutrition" in the title field, for example, you will get back over 200 entries, some going back 20 years or more.

Nutrition and alcoholism

Part of hyperlinked course notes for biochemistry course (within State University of NY), deals with metabolism of alcohol and some nutritional consequences of excess, such as effects on B12 and folate. There is a clinical case study of alcohol abuse.
