- Alcoholics, do not process alcohol as effectively as non-alcoholics. The alcoholic�'s liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde at twice the normal rate. At the same time, their ability to convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid is much slower than non-alcoholics. Consequently, the higher concentrations of acetaldehyde can damage liver cells, cause inflammation and exhaust the body�'s immune system. The liver�'s ability to absorb nutrients is compromised. Unfortunately, the damage is not restricted to the liver. An abundance of acetaldehyde will eventually enter the bloodstream which can affect other organs in the body such as the heart or pancreas. It can also affect the brain. The brain, like most body organs, is vulnerable to injury from alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde can block proper brain function such as the firing of neurotransmitters which affect one�'s mood, memory, and behavior.
- At some time or another, over two-thirds of the population in the United States has been reported to drink alcohol socially, according to research conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
- Alcohol is a depressant. The more you drink, the more "depressed" your brain activity becomes. As you continue to drink and alcohol levels increase, specific parts of the brain are affected more significantly.
- Alcohol use affects the part of the brain that is located in the upper region; this portion of the brain is where self control and other learned behaviors are stored.
