Balance is a function of your brain's ability to coordinate information from three sources: your vision, your sense of body position (derived from subtle changes in muscle tension), and the information sent to the brain by the balance mechanism in your inner ear. When any of the sources do not agree, you feel dizzy and lose your balance (vertigo). Alcohol affects the ability of your brain to interpret that information correctly.
