Abstract
A study of 544 patients with acute disorders of cerebral circulation demonstrated a correlation between the development of a stroke and the degree of alcohol abuse. In patients who abused alcoholic beverages acute disorders of cerebral circulation developed at a younger age, were much more acute and more frequently had a lethal outcome, especially if the stroke developed during acute alcoholic intoxication. The study also showed that in such cases hemorrhagical strokes were more common than ischemic.
