We used the retrospective analytical investigation and as a source of information we used the observation sheet and the file of records. This investigation was made over a seven-year period (2002-2008), at the Municipal Hospital, the Dermato-Venerology Department in Arad, over a group of 186 patients. Among this number a series of data regarding the relation between psoriasis and the physical trauma that is the consumption of alcohol was issued.
