Abstract
Alcohol consumption affected human respiratory symptoms and lung function, even when age, smoking habits and other risk factors were taken into account. Effect of alcohol was most consistently noted among male present heavy drinkers who were also heavy smokers. Smoking is a far more important contributor to respiratory symptoms, but alcohol consumption is also a significant risk factor.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
