1. Head and neck cancer.
2. Anosmia.
3. Allergic rhinitis.
4. Epistaxis.
Head and neck cancer.
Rationale: Alcohol use is strongly associated with head and neck cancer. Anosmia is the complete loss of smell; it may result from radiation treatments for head and neck cancer. Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by an allergic substance. Alcohol does not cause allergic rhinitis. Epistaxis is a nosebleed and is not associated with alcohol use.
