[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1243863"] I would think that hospitals provide information, though there might be discrepancies in figures as as you say some might be lumped with alcohol when it isn't. The other issue is there is very little research in panc disease. If you look at cancer ones like breast and cervical, you have a better survival rate than 40 years ago, pancreatic cancer hasn't changed one bit in 40 years. I know one group who are trying to get more research by raising funds, they are looking at past studies that stopped due to lack of funding. I have just read in Tony Poulsons book that alcohol pancreatitis can develop if some one drinks 3/4 glasses of alcohol per day for 20/30 years, though I have seen on a few reality to programmes, teenagers being admitted to hospital after a holiday binge. So I don't think anyone has really pinned down why some get it and others don't. My nephew had an alcohol problem and we have a laugh and say I got his illnesses while he had the fun. Thankfully he saw what pancreatitis can do and stopped drinking [/QUOTE]
