Can part of the health damage linked to alcohol misuse in Scotland be attributable to the type of drink and its low price (by permitting a rapid rate of consumption)? A point of view.

Research Output

This article considers two sets of data describing the extent of consumption of white spirit drinks by a sample of patients who abuse alcohol and the analysis of drink antioxidant content. We present a proposal for discussion that the rapid consumption of alcoholic drinks, low in protective antioxidant compounds, may potentially be more damaging to the body.
