*520  $aLong-term heavy alcohol drinking is associated with endocrinological abnormalities of which pseudo-Cushing's syndrome, loss of sexual characteristics and function, and disturbances in bone metabolism are perhaps clinically the most prominent in women. In addition, alcohol intake has been associated with an increase in breast cancer. It seems reasonable to hypothesize that the mechanism of these effects would, at least in part, involve the effect of alcohol intake on the hormonal balance itself. The aim of the present work was to study the effects of alcohol on hormones in women and to elucidate mechanisms behind these effects. The effect of alcohol intake on the hormonal balance was studied in healthy premenopausal women using oral contraceptives as well as in female non-users during different dose and time conditions.
