alcohol is not bad for your brain its bad for your liver Alcohol causes dehydration, in severe cases this in turn causes the brain to shrink, slightly!, which could be interpreted as brain damage because water does contain oxygen and the brain needs it.
It is recommended that drinking be limited to two standard drinks* a day for men, one for women. At those levels, brain damage is unlikely.
*Drinks containing 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol or less.
A recent study led by neuroscientist Susan Tapert of the University of California, San Diego compared the brain scans of teens who drink heavily with the scans of teens who don't.
Tapert's team found damaged nerve tissue in the brains of the teens who drank. The researchers believe this damage negatively affects attention span in boys, and girls' ability to comprehend and interpret visual information.
Brain Damage
Long-term alcohol abuse destroys nerve cells in the brain. Destroyed nerve cells usually cannot grow again. The loss of many nerve cells causes permanent changes that impair memory, the ability to concentrate, and the ability to make sound judgments. These losses interfere with normal everyday functions.
Effects on the brain can be especially damaging for underage drinkers. When teens drink, they expose the brain to alcohol during a critical time in its development. Teenage drinkers may suffer long-term learning and memory problems.
Yes, it does. Drinking at any age causes brain damage if done excessively. Connections and cells in the brain are destroyed by abuse of alcohol or narcotics.
Yes, and surprisingly quickly.
yes
Alcohol is the main drug which damages and kills brain cells. Marijuana on the other hand is neuroprotective, and prevents damage to brain cells. One study showed that cannabis protects against the damage caused by binge drinking.
Binge drinking is drinking one after the other very fast, causing you to get drunk very quickly. This is bad for your heart, blood and brain and can cause you to make foolish decisions or have a cardiovascular attack of some sort.
a fake disease, that's impossible unless you somehow got a powerful acid injected into you skull
Anything can cause cancer and depending on your predisposition to certain types of cancer not taking care of your body you can have cancer. The drinking of too much alcohol can cause alcoholic hepatitis which can lead to the development of jaundice. Chronic liver inflammation can lead to cirrhosis of the liver. Binge drinking can cause blackouts, memory loss and anxiety. Long term drinking can cause permanent brain damage and serious mental problems. So, as you can see alcohol is not the best for maximum performance of your body.
Alcohol misuse may cause alcohol related brain impairment (ARBI) or brain injury. 'Binge drinking', drinking in excess of recommended levels in a single session or heavy drinking over a long time may lead to ARBI. Problems with memory, thinking abilities and physical coordination are possible symptoms of ARBI. Makes them bossy :)
It cause zero brain damage, if used in moderation...
No this is a habit that is hard to break it is not something like smoking or drinking where introduced chemicals interfere with the body.
An illness that has a psychological cause and does not involve brain damage is Psychosis.
The brain needs oxygen in order to function. A lack of oxygen to the brain can cause brain damage. Brain damage can result in seizures.
it can cause brain damage
it can cause you to have heart faliure and you can go into cardiac arrest, which can give you brain damage and you can die from it
