Korsakoff psychosis

Was just reading my eating right to live sober book & it's just mentioned Korsakoff's psychosis .. I knew of Wernicke's encephalopathy

Alcohol-related liver disease - Complications - NHS Choices

And I have heard & experienced some of this Korsakoff's psychosis but have just heard the term properly for the first time

Thought I would share to show just how dangerously fatal alcohol can be

Alcohol could cause one quarter of dementia
