Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble finding the appropriate term in English for "avvelenamenti voluttuari" The context is a medical text and the original sentence is quite a long list which I've condensed a bit for this thread:
Le cause possono essere a volte note - e disparate - come [.....], inquinamento aereo (cancro polmonare nei fumatori), avvelenamenti voluttuari (cancro al fegato degli etilisti), [.....].
My attempt:
The causes can be known – and varied – like [.....], air pollution (lung cancer in smokers), substance abuse, (liver cancer in alcoholics), [.....].
All I've been able to come up with is "substance abuse", but I'd appreciate any input...
Thanks in advance!
