  • Sociological factors significantly impact the incidence of violence in populations with alcohol consumption.
  • A distinct subgroup with personality disorders exhibits a strong predisposition to both alcoholism and violence, characterized by unique violence patterns and a poor prognosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • The association between alcoholism and violence is indirect, influenced by sociological factors and specific personality disorders.
    • A subgroup of individuals with personality disorders represents a critical nexus for understanding the link between severe alcoholism and distinct patterns of violent behavior.
    • This subgroup warrants targeted interventions due to their poor prognosis compared to general alcoholic populations.
