Forensic and pharmaceutical, criminal and legal studies indicate that the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine, under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of all levels, take operative and investigative measures and investigative actions. In the structure of polydrug addiction, the syndrome of dependence due to the use of alcohol, which develops after multiple simultaneous use of psychoactive alcohol-containing liquids, alcoholic beverages (beer, vodka, wine), psychoactive alcohol drugs, prevails.
