Alcohol – respect your brain

Buzzed, drunk, wasted. Drinking alcohol reduces brain activity. At first, alcohol affects the front of the brain, which controls our personality and inhibitions. We might say and do things we normally wouldn’t. Next, alcohol affects the mid part of the brain, reducing our ability to talk, manage our emotions, and form new memories. Finally, excessive drinking affects the back of the brain, decreasing coordination and functions crucial for survival, like breathing. The more you drink, the less active your brain becomes. If you’re under 25, alcohol can have a long-lasting impact on how your brain develops. Respect your brain.
