The effects of alcohol on the endocrine system
Med Clin North Am.
1984 Jan.
Abstract
Male hypogonadism is the best documented endocrine effect of chronic alcoholism. A reversible clinical syndrome resembling Cushing's syndrome has also recently been described in some chronic alcoholics. The pituitary-thyroid axis is relatively resistant to the effects of ethanol, although mild abnormalities in various thyroid tests are frequently noted in the presence of alcoholic liver disease.
