Abstract
Although early studies of hepatitis C indicated this is a serious disease, more recent evidence shows it can be relatively benign. A major determinant of hepatitis C prognosis is alcohol consumption. Promotion of alcohol abstinence among people with hepatitis C could result in substantial reductions in morbidity, mortality and treatment costs.
