Only a small proportion of alcohol goes to the brain.
The Brain
Alcohol does not kill brain cells.
achohol affects almost every part of your body... your muscles your brain, your stomach... just about everything that can go wrong will go wrong, if you have to much alcohol
Alcohol IS a toxin.
alcohol can function brain correctly
From the first sip, alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the brain which deteriorates further the more you drink. Cognitive abilities that are acquired later in life, such as conduct and behaviour, are the first to go. Early on you will experience mild euphoria and loss of inhibition, as alcohol impairs regions of the brain controlling behaviour and emotion. Most vulnerable are the brain cells associated with memory, attention, sleep and coordination.
Alcohol molecules are small and easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, reaching the brain quickly. Once in the brain, alcohol affects neurotransmitters and receptors, leading to impaired judgment, coordination, and cognitive function.
first of all its not a illegal drug. alcohol is bad for your body and can effect your brain and cause brain loss and most off the people still drink this and It kills bacteria, used as a fuel etc
Alcohol suppresses chemical reactions in the brain, as well as overall brain activity. Alcohol will numb the brain's bodily reaction when it feels hunger. Thus, the person consuming the alcohol will not feel the feeling of hunger.
Drinking alcohol temporarily slows the actions of the brain. When consumed regularly in moderation, alcohol reduces the risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Alcohol is an anesthetic so it numbs your brain, and it is also toxic, so it destroys your brain cells. Whatever you were, after alcohol you're less.
Alcohol is condisdered to be a poison and a toxin to the body. Alchohols major effects to the body are that of the Brain. When Alchohol is consumed it circulates around the body and eventually gets around to your brain. As you probably already know alcohol acts like a disinfectant and sterilization chemical. Alcohol that you drink has the same effect on the brain that it does to germs. In response to this the liver which acts like a filter to poisons and other parts of the body has to go into overtime to cleanse the toxins that were put into the body. This overloaded work for the liver can have major effects later in life including liver failure and the need for a liver transplant. Another effect that alcohol produces is neasue and dizzyness this is caused from alcohol killing part of your brain which makes you have that "drunk" feel. If to much alcohol is consumed you can actually can major brain damage and cause your brain altogether to stop working causing death. Most of the time though when you drink alot you pass out this is the onset to the brain shutting down non essential life sustaining functions such as consciousness.
