N2  - In the cases of subjects with a chronic addictive link to multiple toxic substances, the mechanisms of behavioural self-control, the capacity for tolerance to frustration and for decision-making become fragile and negatively affected by the harmful infiltration of said substances into the brain parenchyma, being able to provoke random criminal behaviours in subjects prone to such hostile or aggressive behaviours.     In cases of addictive association and chronic alcohol consumption, the subject affected by said psychopathological condition does not present psychic indemnity to the effects that said ethylic substance could cause on the central nervous system (CNS).     It is well known that chronic consumption over a long time frame affects many areas of the body, such as the digestive system, the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system, the liver system and the Central Nervous System (CNS). In this sense, what is considered (formally) as a "legal drug", ethylic substances or alcohol can reach a significant harmful and/or aggressive potential in the body with great damaging capacity.     As a psycholeptic substance that causes depressant effects on the CNS, it can act as a sedative enhancer and/or facilitator of the decrease or delay of impulsive behaviours. These psycholeptic substances produce sedation, relaxation and a feeling of well- being, affecting the attention span and causing a slowdown in the processing of information and the subject's behavioural responses<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
