Overeating, especially among the well-to-do, is the commonest dietetic error, and there are some examples of alcoholism in which the desire for drink is aroused and fostered by previous excesses in eating. Overdrinking, except of alcohol (which is considered under the heading of Alcoholism, p. 438), is not common, and is mainly con- fined to the excessive consumption of tea and coffee, which results in insomnia, cardiac palpitations, and various neuroses (see pages 250, 255). Dilatation of the ...stomach has been attributed in some cases to overindulgence in mineral waters, but such cases are very unusual. Polyuria and diabetes insipidus have also been ascribed to the ab- normal consumption of fluids, but without strong proof. Excessive use of milk as a beverage usually results in " biliousness " and constipa- tion, but for the reason that it is really a solid food that is, it be- comes such immediately on entering the stomach, owing to the forma- tion of tough coagulae. Excessive consumption of beer may cause dilatation of the stomach.
