Effects of alcohol on your brain:
More Powerful Effect
The brain is more sensitive to alcohol and other
drugs after an injury. There are not as many neurons to absorb the alcohol
or other drugs. No matter how much alcohol or other drugs a person was
able to use before, it's less now.
Also, alcohol interferes with prescribed medications. You get drunk faster
and lose the good effect of the medicine.
Alcohol sneaks up on an unsuspecting brain.
