    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Alcohol consumption is common, but its effects on asthma are not well understood.
    • Previous research has not fully explored the dual impact of alcohol on asthma symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and nature of alcohol's effects on asthma patients.
    • To identify specific alcoholic beverages and consumption patterns associated with symptom changes.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire-based study was conducted on 168 asthma patients.
    • Patients reported whether alcoholic drinks worsened or improved their asthma symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • 32.1% of patients reported worsening asthma due to specific drinks like wine, beer, and whisky.
    • 23.2% reported alcohol (brandy, whisky) improved asthma, particularly when severe.
    • Patients experiencing improvement were older and had more severe asthma (P<0.003).
    • Overall, 47% of patients reported alcohol affected their asthma.

    Conclusions:

    • Alcoholic beverages frequently influence asthma symptoms in a significant portion of patients.
    • The effects are varied, with some drinks worsening asthma and others providing relief.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the mechanisms behind alcohol's impact on asthma.
