Effects of alcohol on your brain:
Problems with Thinking
Many people have to learn new skills, or re- learn
old ones, following a brain injury. People have trouble with concentration,
memory, word finding, problem-solving and other thinking skills, depending
on where the brain is injured.
Alcohol and other drugs also interfere with the ability to think and learn
new things. Adding alcohol and other drugs with your brain injury just
makes thinking that much harder.
