Abstrakt: The factors associated with intellectual impairment in male alcoholics have been studied in a group of subjects without the confounding complications of chronic alcoholism. It has been shown that intellectual impairment is dependent on the degree of subject anxiety and is independent of any co-existing biochemical disturbance. An hypothesis is offered to explain this observation.
