Abstract
Alcoholism is a chronic behavior disorder that disturbs the health, social, and economical functions by intaking alcohol repeatedly. Alcoholism includes some habituation, dependency, and addiction. It may be clinically silent or severe enough to lead to the rapid development of hepatic, renal and gastrointestinal failure. Alcoholism can also cause death. In this case, we administrated saenggangunbitang and sungjoocheonggantang to a patient suffering from alcohoism and its withdrawal symptoms. After administration of saenggangunbitang-sungjoocheonggantang medication, clinical symptoms, including liver function with diabetes mellitus and splenomegaly improved. saenggangunbitang-sungjoocheonggantang showed desirable effect on alcoholism symptoms.
