Long-term history of alcohol drinking is associated with shifts in basal levels of glucagon, gastrin, cortisol and insulin. The longer history of alcohol abuse, the more pronounced the shifts were. Besides hormonal unbalance, the animals had defective gastrointestinal motility and evacuation. Drinking of mineral water can correct the above disturbances only in short-term alcoholic intoxication.
