The Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Health Problems (ICD-10) defines the dependence syndrome as being a cluster of physiological, behavioural, and cognitive phenomena in which the use of a substance or a class of substances takes on a much higher priority for a given individual than other behaviours that once had greater value. Comparing the sensory nerves in both left and right shows that latency is prolonged and action potential is reduced in sural nerves but previous studies show that there was a decrease in amplitude of sensory nerve action potential in radial nerves. In our study patients, clinically there was no evidence of neuropathy but NCS revealed conduction velocity to be decreased in motor and distal sensory nerves where alcoholic patients who clinically had no evidence of neuropathy were investigated and found that there was a decrease in conduction velocity of motor and sensory nerves. The prevalence of alcoholic neuropathy in our study was 72%. The prevalence of neuropathy in chronic alcohol abuse range from 10 to 75%. In another study by Chopra and Tiwari et al the prevalence of alcohol neuropathy ranges from 25 to 66%.ddd
