The present study was conducted to assess the impact of deaddiction on food and nutrient intake of moderately heavy drinkers who were consuming 200 to 400 ml liquor per day. The sixty adult male subjects were taken from nursing homes and rehabilitation centre of Hisar city in Haryana state, India. After deaddiction a significant (P<0.01) increase was noticed in the mean daily intake levels of various food groups such as cereals, pulses, green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, fruits, sugar and jaggery and fats and oils. In contrast, the consumption of meat and eggs was abruptly decreased. There was, nevertheless, a significant (P <0.01) improvement in the intake levels of several nutrients after deaddiction. These included food energy, carbohydrates, ß‐carotene, thiamine, niacin and fibre.
