title: The diagnosis of pathological intoxication.
abstract: Subjects with a history of violent or psychotic behavior while under the influence of alcohol were infused with a 25% alcohol solution. Based on electroencephalograms, blood alcohol concentrations and behavioral observations, the results confirm the probable existence of a discrete syndrome of pathological reaction to alcohol without reference to the amount of alcohol consumed.
