A case of female alcoholic who developed liver cirrhosis with small amounts of alcohol by the common use of contraceptive agent was reported. A case was a 33-year-old female who had complained of systemic edema and jaundice. She had been drinking alcohol, while she had been taking the contraceptive agent from 20-year-old. On admission, she had a large amount of ascites with jaundice. She was diagnosed as liver cirrhosis and hepatic failure by CT scanning of abdomen and laboratory data. Her condition was temporarily improved by the abstinence and the treatment. Since she drank under hospitalization, she had to change the hospital and died after 2 months. She had been drinking for only 10 years. Her cumulative alcohol intake was also very small. She may have developed alcoholic cirrhosis with small amount of alcohol because of common use of contraceptive agent with drinking.
