This is a clinical study of 50 patients of acute pancreatitis admitted to our hospital as an emergency. 40 patients had a positive history of consuming alcohol for periods ranging from 5-20 years with average age of 23 when the patient started drinking alcohol. The quantity of alcohol ranged from 250 ml of hard liquor per day to about 750 ml per day.

Most of the patients were in the age group of 20-35 years and worked as daily wage labourers.
