Medical School Pathology: Pathophysiology of Alcohol Consumption

This video for medical students is a broad overview of ethanol metabolism and the pathophysiologic consequences of its metabolites on the body. This material is intended to accompany the "Alcohol" section in the Environmental Pathology chapter of Robbins Pathology textbooks, to provide a foundation for organ-specific diseases later in the book such as hepatocellular carcinoma, dilated cardiomyopathy, cerebellar degeneration, acute and chronic pancreatitis and fetal alcohol syndrome.

This video can be a scary one to watch for anyone who likes a drink or two. Alcohol effects multiple organ systems and, to be honest, has a tremendous impact on health.
