Abstract

The effects of alcohol on the central nervous system can be subdivided into three main categories: the effects of acute intoxication (drunkenness, acute encephalopathy, stroke), the effects of tolerance and ethanol withdrawal (delirium tremens, seizures) and the delayed manifestations of chronic alcohol consumption (cerebellar degeneration, Wernicke's encephalopathy, dementia).
