Abstract (2. Language): 
Electrolyte abnormalities can be observed in chronic alcoholic patients. Hyponatremia is one of them. Beer potomania is an unusual cause of hyponatremia and was first described by Gwinup et all. in 1972. Patients usually have a history of binge beer drinking and poor solute intake. We present here a 48-year-old male patient who had hyponatremia secondary to binge beer drinking.

Alkol kullananlarda elektrolit anormallikleri gözlenebilir. Hiponatremi bunlardan biridir. Bira potomania, hiponatreminin alışılmadık bir nedenidir ve 1972 yılında Gwinup ve arkadaşları tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Hastalarda genellikle artmış bira kullanım öyküsü ve düşük solüt alımı vardır. Biz burada, 48 yaşında erkek hastada aşırı bira kullanımına bağlı gelişen hiponatremiyi sunuyoruz.
