messages about alcohol. On the one hand, moderate amounts have been

effects of alcohol vary between individuals and depend on the amount and
substance that makes you drunk. It’s produced by yeasts that digest sugar in
certain carb-rich foods, such as grapes used to make wine or grains used to
make beer. Alcohol is one of the most popular psychoactive substances in the

a time, while others tend to binge drink. Binge drinking involves drinking large
amounts at a time to get drunk. Drinking small amounts, especially of red wine
is linked to various health benefits. On the other hand, alcohol abuse and
alcohol addiction are linked to severe negative effects on both physical and
mental health. If you enjoy alcohol and don’t binge, there is no compelling
reason to avoid it. Just keep in mind that your cancer risk may increase

produces alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, cider and spirits. Alcohol is a
depressant drug. This means that it slows down activity of the central nervous
system and the messages going between the brain and the body. Depressant
drugs do not necessarily make a person feel depressed. Pure alcohol has no
color. It has a very strong taste that feels like a burning sensation. Alcoholic
drinks vary in color and taste depending on their ingredients and how they are
made. Alcohol (ethanol or ethyl alcohol) is the ingredient found in beer, wine
and spirits that causes drunkenness. Alcohol is formed when yeast ferments

is made from the sugar in grapes, beer from the sugar in malted barley (a type

risk-free. For example, even light drinkers (those who have no more than one
drink a day) have a tiny, but real, increased risk of some cancers, such as
esophageal cancer and drinking and driving is never a good idea. (Castle,

the body by slowing them down, and the more you drink the greater the effect.
The reason people often get lively when they’ve had a drink is that alcohol
affects parts of the brain responsible for self-control. As you drink, the alcohol
passes into your bloodstream. Ethanol is the intoxicating part of alcohol and
its molecules are so small that they can actually pass into the gaps between
brain cells. There it can interfere with the neurotransmitters that enable all the
brain’s activities. If you drink fast, alcohol will start to flood the brain.
Fortunately, alcohol can give some warning signs as it penetrates into the
brain and central nervous system, so if you spot the signs in yourself or a
friend, moderate your or their drinking or stop drinking further amounts. The
