blood serum	GGT activities from 1147 moderate drinkers and 449 abstainers are classified according to body mass index are compared with those of 208 heavy drinkers admitted for detoxification. GGT upper normal limits, defined based on normal weight abstainers are lower than those based on moderate drinkers. The relative increases in GGT activities in male moderate drinkers with overweight (54%) or obesity (125%) exceedes the corresponding changes found in women (25% and 75%, respectively). The BMI-dependent variation on the sensitivity of GGT for correctly classifying heavy drinkers ranges from 29% to 67%. The rates of false-positive values in the subgroups from low to high BMI varies from 0% to 27%, respectively	Homo sapiens	-
