The Effects of Alcohol on the Brain and Body

Drinking alcohol:
Slows down your reaction time
Makes you less coordinated
Impairs your vision
Makes it harder to thinking clearly and make good decisions
Getting “drunk” (or intoxicated) is your body’s reaction to drinking too much alcohol. This happens when someone is binge drinking. Additionally, when you’re drunk:
Your brain function is impaired
Your blood vessels dilate; this means that you feel warmer, but you’re body is actually losing heat
Your risk of getting into a car crash, a physical fight, or sustaining an injury is increased
Addiction
As a teen, you’re retaining new information and learning new behaviors. What’s interesting is that in your brain, the process of general learning is actually the same process as developing an addiction. So although you might think that you’re just having a few drinks once in a while, you’re exposing your brain to the learning process of drinking alcohol, which can lead to addiction later on. Killing brain cells
Teens suffer longer lasting consequences from drinking alcohol than adults do. If you drink as much alcohol in the same period of time as an adult in their 30’s, they’re going to feel better sooner, and the alcohol going to kill many more of your brain cells.

Alcohol and Your Brain
Scientists used to think that people’s brains were fully developed by the age of 10, but now there’s evidence that shows that the brain isn’t fully developed until people are in their 20’s, or even 30’s. What this means for you as a teen is that your brain is still developing, and alcohol could impair that development. The last part of the brain to develop is called the frontal lobe, which affects both judgment and impulse
