Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Korsakoff's syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by severe alcoholism that leads to memory problems, confusion, and difficulty with intellectual functioning. It is often associated with damage to the thiamine levels in the brain. Parkinson's disease and Huntington's chorea are genetic disorders that do not have a direct link to alcohol consumption. Frozen addict disorder is a colloquial term used to describe the physical and mental effects of prolonged drug abuse, and it is not directly related to alcohol consumption.
