Abstract
Alcohol is a well-known pharmacological agent which affects major psychomotoric and sensory functions via a series of complex physicochemical metabolic processes. The neuropsychopharmacological disturbances in alcoholics may be mediated in large part by alcohol-induced damage to various organ-systems which in turn cause both neurological and psychological disorders (Kalant 1987; Tarter and Edwards 1988).
