A medical condition known as alcohol use disorder (AUD) is defined as an impaired capacity to reduce or regulate alcohol consumption despite negative social, occupational, or health effects. According to studies, habitual drinkers experience a reduction in their capacity to process new information, gain new skills, and formulate plans. Studies indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect, published from 2012 to 2022, were identified through the search terms "alcohol use disorder" and "executive function." A total of 2242 abstracts were identified through the initial search terms. Full texts were reviewed for 61 articles, out of which nine articles met the criteria for inclusion. This systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The current systematic review primarily focuses on the following issues: clinical neuropsychological tests of executive dysfunction, specific brain regions most affected by alcohol neurotoxic effects, and alcohol-related dementia. This review concluded that chronic alcohol dependence syndrome causes impairments in several cognitive function domains. Study shows frontal lobe damage is caused by chronic alcohol consumption. A faulty interaction among large-scale networks underlies patients' executive dysfunction in AUD, which is suggested by changes in prefrontal white-matter pathways. The goal of this systematic review is to improve the ability to recognize alcoholics who are particularly at risk of functional impairments to tailor therapeutic therapy to maximize the chance of maintaining abstinence and neuropsychology concerning this complex disease.
