Chronic Alcoholism causes chemical changes in the brain. When the alcohol is removed, the brain's inappropriate chemical balance is upset. Not only that, but liver damage from alcoholism causes hepatic encephalopathy. The brain swells. The person suffering from this exhibits symptoms from confusion, forgetfulness, emotional liability, somnolence, to coma. This does resolve once the nitrogenous wastes from the damaged liver are removed. However, years of damage to the brain caused by chronic alcoholism cannot be fixed and the person will never regain the lost brain cells.0.0
