  • 113 Accesses

Abstract

M. Victor et al. (1953, 1973) evidenced the time of onset of each withdrawal symptom, and divided the alcohol syndrome into minor and major withdrawal syndromes based on their detailed clinical observations. Subsequently, a good many of the studies on induction factors of the acute withdrawal syndrome have been published; viz., alcohol consumption and drinking period (M. Victor and R.D. Adams, 1953; H. Isbell et al. 1955; K.C. Powell, 1979), drinking pattern (J.H. Mendelson and N.K. Mello, 1970), food intake (J.H. Mendelson, 1970), gastrointestinal symptoms (N.K. Mello, 1972), etc.
