Abstract
Alcohol consumption determines different degrees of behavior disturbances, it is worldwide recognized as a first-order criminal factor and carries medico-legal repercussions, aggravated if associated with psychotic symptoms. In the present case report, the implication of alcohol in the genesis of the criminal behavior, the juridical repercussion of the clinical condition associated with the consumption and the medicolegal complications of its clinical management are analyzed. We emphasize the need to improve the organization of emergency services, as well as to implement safety measures, both active and passive, in order to prevent suicidal behaviors, addressing the potential institutional responsibility. In patients with behavior disorders and social dangerousness associated with alcohol consumption, the forensic and juridical intervention is especially relevant, in order to prevent future criminal behavior, analyzing the advantages that would result from the implementation of security measures or an assertive community treatment.
