Abstract:
349 new admissions in the wards of Medicine, General Surgery & Orthopedics in a general hospital were screened with MAST & AUDIT for problem use of alcohol. Problem drinking was present in 14.6% of the inpatients. The severity and the need for additional treatment were measured with Addiction Severity Index (ASI).

The findings indicate the need to develop services towards the recognition and referrals of the problem drinkers in general hospitals.
