Core Tip	Alcoholism is associated with an increased risk of fractures and a higher prevalence of bone disease, particularly osteoporosis. While ethanol has a direct toxic effect on bone, other factors such as malnutrition, increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, alcoholic myopathy and neuropathy, and an increased risk of trauma also contribute to bone disease. It is noteworthy that alterations in bone metabolism have been described as reversible so that the mainstay of treatment should be alcohol abstinence. Treatment with vitamin D, calcium, and biphosphonates have been studied in the general population but further trials are needed in alcoholic patients.
