Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the brain. Some of these impairments are detectable after only one or two drinks and quickly resolve when drinking stops. On the other hand, a person who drinks heavily over a long period of time may have brain deficits that persist well after he or she achieves sobriety. Exactly how alcohol affects the brain and the likelihood of reversing the impact of heavy drinking on the brain remain hot topics in alcohol research today.
We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and far-reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple "slips" in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care. And even moderate drinking leads to short-term impairment, as shown by extensive research on the impact of drinking on driving.
A number of factors influence how and to what extent alcohol affects the brain (1), including
No, alcohol is primarily metabolized by the liver.
The brain basically learns that it can't live without alcohol, and thus the addiction occurs, causing the addicted man to be too addicted to control his habits.
No
The Liver.
Alcohol is primarily metabolized by the liver.
its about 50 to 60 percent alcohol
No. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver.
located in the cytoplasm
The percentage of alcohol that is not metabolized in the liver and excreted unchanged is between 2 and 10%.There is a slight range due to body size and amount of alcohol ingested.
No. It breaks down and gets metabolized by the liver. It in no way gets metabolized into isopropyl alcohol in the process. Isopropyl alcohol is very dangerous and can lead the blindnes or death.
Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about .015 of BAC per hour.
80 hours after the alcohol has been metabolized by the body.
alcohol is metabolized by the liver. this is the only site of the body where metabolism of alcohol can occur.
Most of the alcohol ends up in the bloodstream where it is then filtered out and metabolized by the liver.
It is true that approximately 90 percent of all alcohol consumed is metabolized by the liver.
