Question

What part of the brain does alcohol damage the most?

Answer 1

Effect of alcohol on brain is really widespread, but immediate effect of alcohol consumption is definitely most pervasive on CEREBELLUM. The person tends to lose balance: or may not be able to hold a pen.

Explanation:

Alcohol influences working of brain and binge drinkers, heavy regular drinkers are more affected even when sober.

Alcohol has some neurotoxic properties, hence neurons may die prematurely.

Alcohol supports action of neuroinhibitory transmitters like GABA, hence slows down thought processing.

Alcohol thus acts on reflex centres of medulla and decreases breathing rate, body temperature, etc.

Alcohol decreases inhibition, and paradoxically, sexual performance.
