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.
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.
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.
yes. that's why it affects your brain so much and so fast. alcohol crosses the barrier and excites GABA which is the body's inhibitor; this is why cognition, motor movement, and memory are all inhibited or impaired.
Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the brain.We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple "slips" in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care.

Yes, it's not equally.
It affects the motor control centers of the brain.

Intoxication temporarily affects the operation of the brain.

Alcohol does not affect the cerebrum...rather it affects the cerebellum of the brain.

Alcohol affects the entire brain. It depresses all functions in it- from the logic centers to the parts of the brain that control vital functions when someone drinks too much. That is why a person who drinks too much passes out, and why people die from alcohol poisoning
Alcohol affects the limbic portion of the brain by disrupting the communication between neurons, leading to changes in mood, behavior, and inhibition control. Blurry vision is a common symptom of alcohol consumption, but it is not specifically related to the limbic system.
