Abstract
The review deals with the possibility of diffuse brain damage, not always clinically obvious, in chronic alcoholics. Some of its implications are discussed with special reference to the role of frontal lobe damage. The main areas of enquiry--neuropathological, neuroadiological and psychological - are considered in detail.Keywords
