Introduction: Binge drinking and continued alcohol use in large amounts are associated with many health problems but there are very few studies on the effects of alcohol intake on the function of lung, the effects of ethanol on lung diseases, and links between alcohol consumption and lung cancer. Therefore, our knowledge of these interactions from pathophysiological, clinical and epidemiological aspects is poor.
Background: Acute alcohol exposure stimulates the beating of the cilia of mucociliary epithelium cells but the effects of chronic ethanol over-exposure are different, with a progressive desensitization of ciliary response: ethanol exposure reduces airway mucociliary clearance.
