The supplementation of alcoholic beverages with thiamine--a necessary preventive measure in Queensland?

J Price, M T Theodoros.   

Abstract

The large and increasing number of cases of Korsakoff's psychosis in a Queensland mental hospital prompts an examination of the theoretical and practical issues concerning the supplementation of alcoholic beverages with thiamine. It is concluded that supplementation of alcoholic beverages in Queensland with thiamine (and in particular with one of the allithiamines) warrants urgent and unprejudiced consideration.
