Ways in which alcohol disrupts your brain

Alcohol can disrupt decision-making, planning, and impulse control. It may lead to mood swings, aggression, or emotional instability. Alcohol intake can impair the ability to assess risks and consequences accurately. Alcohol stimulates the release of dopamine, contributing to pleasurable sensations and reinforcing drinking behaviour. Excessive alcohol intake can impair the formation of new memories and lead to blackouts.
