Brain Damage Associated with Alcohol Abuse

Conclusion

This pamphlet is only a synopsis of ethanol abuse and ought not be considered as a formal clinical profile on the subject. Although I have paid detailed attention in collating the information, I would be most grateful to be notified of any errors or omissions I may have made. For authoritative and comprehensive information on the subject, particularly for those who are directly or indirectly effected by ethanol abuse; please visit the sites below.
