This portion is related to memory, sexual and emotional behavior. When this portion of the brain gets affected with alcohol, the individual's emotions are exaggerated. The behavior can range from boisterousness, verbal aggression, and violent behavior to quiet withdrawal and tearfulness. Sometimes there can be memory lapses of events which occurred during drinking.
Alcohol affects every cell in the body.
True
The hippocampus. The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, a specialised part of the brain. It specifically deals with the consolidation of short and long-term memory, as well as spacial navigation. This is how alcohol may affect spacial navigation.
the limbic systome
Central nervous system suppressors, such as narcotic medications, are the only way to influence limbic system functions since it is located in the brain. The limbic system is our emotion and memory processing center, so if medications are given there will be changes in mood and behavior.
Some studies have indicated that delusions may be generated by abnormalities in the limbic system, the portion of the brain on the inner edge of the cerebral cortex that is believed to regulate emotions.
Alcohol does affect the limbic portion of the brain with blurry vision. Alcohol also affects the cerebellum, and causes lack of motor coordination.

No, that is the job of the amygdala, a portion of the diencephalon and part of the limbic system.

This will be an oversimplification of the matter (and this is an understatement), but the limbic system essentially helps regulate the endocrine system and the vegetative (autonomic) nervous system; it receives olfactory input, and is also responsible for our emotions, and memory.
The limbic system is located on top of the brain stem and buried under the cortex.
When drinking at a young age, your brain has not fully developed. Therefore you will ruin important brain cells used for growing and decision making portion of the brain.
Alcohol does not affect the cerebrum...rather it affects the cerebellum of the brain.
