Abstract
Background: Alcohol intake has long been associated with an increase in disease and mortality. Recent investigations have made a significant contribution to our comprehension of the connection between drinking and particular ailments and have demonstrated that the relationship between alcohol use and its consequences on health is complicated and multifaceted.

Aims and Objectives: This study aims to evaluate cognition ability in alcoholics with a prolonged history of alcohol intake. Blinded Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to analyze cognition ability.

Materials and Methods: It is a comparative study between two study groups. The study includes 30 healthy alcoholic males (experimental group) attending the psychiatric hospital outpatient department and 30 healthy appropriate non-alcoholics (control group) within the age group of 18–45 years of age. The total sample size is n = 60.

Results: The age of individuals did not show any statistically significant correlation with alcohol consumption (P = 0.7). In our results, alcohol consumption has a significant impact on cognition. Mean blind MoCA score is found to be 12.5 in alcoholics and 18.9 in non-alcoholics (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: The proportion of heavy, moderate, and light drinkers was found to be 37%, 40%, and 23%, respectively. Blind MoCA score was found to be higher in the non-alcoholic (control) group compared to the alcoholic (experimental) group.
