Alcohol drinking pattern and risk of alcoholic liver cirrhosis: a prospective cohort study.
Alcohol is the main contributing factor of alcoholic cirrhosis, but less is known about the significance of drinking pattern. ⋯ In men, daily drinking was associated with an increased risk of alcoholic cirrhosis. Recent alcohol consumption rather than earlier in life was associated with risk of alcoholic cirrhosis. Compared to beer and liquor, wine might be associated with a lower risk of alcoholic cirrhosis.
