Abstract
Background/Aims. Scotland's alcohol consumption is approximately
20% higher than that of England and Wales with consequent burden
on health and social services well documented. White cider has gained
a notoriety due to its high alcohol content and cheap price but anecdotally
it is also linked to distressing acute symptoms.We aimed to explore
this claim by (i) documenting white cider consumption levels
amongst heavy drinkers, (ii) conducting chemical analysis of cider
samples.
