The risk of alcoholism for an individual and its incidence in a society depends on the amount drunk. Countries such as France, where heavy drinking is socially acceptable, have the highest incidence. Usually several years` heavy drinking is needed for addiction to develop but the range is from one to 40 years. Alcoholism impairs intellectual function, physical skill, memory, and judgement; social skills, such as conversation are preserved until late stage. Heavy consumption of alcohol also causes cardiomyopathy(disease of heart muscle), peripheral neutritis (inflammation of neuron / nerve), cirrhosis (wasting / hardening of tissue) of the liver and enteritis (inflammation of mucous membrane of intestine). Treatment is usually given a psychiatric hospital, where the alcoholic is first dried out and then help to undertand the psychological pressure that led to his heavy drinking. Drugs such as disuferam(Antabuse), which cause vomiting if alcohol is taken, may help in treatment pain. A corn may be treated by applying salicylic acid or chiropody.

This is particularly noticeable in the long bones, which become bowed, and in the front of ribeage where characteristic rickety rosary may become apparent. The dificiency of vitamin D may be dietary as due to lack of exposure to the sunlight , which is important in the conversion of vitamin D to its active form.
