Acute alcohol intoxication is result of widespread changes in brain metabolism. The greater the amount of alcohol the greater the affect on your brain. One of the mechanisms by which alcohol lowers brain metabolism is via its interaction with GABA receptors. GABA receptors are an inhibitory class of receptors whose function is to reduce the activity of neurons. Many drugs used in the treatment of anxiety also work by this mechanism. Because GABA receptors are ubiquitously expressed, this explains the variety of behavioral changes ensue during inebriation; such as decreased attention span (frontal cortex), slurred speech (motor cortex/cerebellum), social disinhibition and sensations of wellbeing (limbic areas), blurry vision (vestibular-ocular reflex deficits), and poor balance control (vestibular function).
Alcohol does not directly affect the dopamine gland. However, alcohol can indirectly impact dopamine levels in the brain by altering neurotransmitter release and uptake, which can influence the brain's reward system and contribute to the pleasurable effects of alcohol consumption.
True. Alcohol and other drugs can affect nerve cells in the brain by interfering with neurotransmitter function, altering communication between neurons, and impacting decision-making, behavior, and emotions. This can lead to both short-term and long-term changes in brain function.

B. Not equally. Alcohol primarily affects the frontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum in the brain. Different areas are impacted to varying degrees, resulting in impairment in cognition, memory, and coordination among others.
Drinking alcohol (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation improves thinking, reasoning and cognition; reduces risk of strokes; reduces risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease; and reduces damage to injured brains. Abusing alcohol, especially over a period of decades, can cause damage to the brain.
Yes, it's not equally.
Alcohol does not affect the cerebrum...rather it affects the cerebellum of the brain.
Yes
Intoxication temporarily affects the operation of the brain.
No, but it will affect the decomposition of the human brain.
The judgment and decision-making centers (executive function) in the brain.
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.
It temporarily slows the operation of the brain.
yes, too much alchol can kill brain cells
Alcohol does not directly affect the dopamine gland. However, alcohol can indirectly impact dopamine levels in the brain by altering neurotransmitter release and uptake, which can influence the brain's reward system and contribute to the pleasurable effects of alcohol consumption.
If you drink too much it can damage your brain.
Alcohol can affect many organs. Liver, Kidneys, Heart, and the brain.
