Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Alcohol abuse is associated with a variety of clinical diseases, but studies on prevalence of different somatic diseases among alcohol abusers are lacking. Studies on populations in an out-day patients' clinic are also lacking.

The investigators aim to study somatic health standard in an out-day patients' clinic population of alcohol abusers, with regard to prevalence of different kinds of somatic diseases, and how the interaction of somatic and psychiatric treatment can influence on patients quality of life. Clinical examination including blood samples and echocardiographic examinations in all participants, other additional examinations (as x-ray, CT or MRI if indicated by clinical findings).
