Why Does Alcohol Make You Drunk? The Science Behind Its Effects on the Brain and Body
In this video, we explore the science behind why alcohol makes you drunk. Alcohol is one of the most widely used psychoactive substances in the world, but it can also have negative effects on the body. When you drink alcohol, it affects the neurotransmitters in your brain, specifically gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, which can lead to feelings of relaxation and reduced anxiety, as well as a decrease in cognitive function, coordination, and reaction time. In addition, alcohol affects the brain's reward system, leading to addictive behaviors. We also discuss factors that can impact how alcohol affects an individual, such as body weight, gender, genetics, and how quickly it's consumed. We provide tips on how to reduce the negative effects of alcohol and consume it responsibly. Join us as we delve into the science behind why alcohol makes you drunk and how to approach its consumption in a safe and healthy manner.
