Alcohol-induced pseudo-Cushing syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/300990121

This is an alcohol-induced medical condition in which patients display the signs, symptoms, and abnormal hormone levels seen in Cushing's syndrome. However, pseudo-Cushing's syndrome is not caused by a problem with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as Cushing's is; it is an idiopathic condition.
