Abstract

Jane Christe

The co-consumption of ethanol (alcohol) and medical psychotropics presents significant public health concerns due to the compounded effects on cognitive and motor functions, potentially leading to increased risk of accidents and adverse health outcomes. A recent retrospective study conducted over three years in Spain provides insights into the prevalence and patterns of such co-consumption based on forensic samples. This review aims to summarize the key findings of this study and contextualize them within the broader European landscape.
