Their daily alcohol intake was 120–480 g and the actual drinking period has lasted for 1–104 weeks. For comparison, 21 non‐active alcoholics were investigated. There was no correlation between MCV of active alcoholics and daily alcohol consumption or smoking habits, whereas a significant positive correlation was found between MCV and both duration of actual drinking episode and total alcohol intake in this period.
