We often have occasions to feast. Celebrating New Year’s Eve, birthdays, name days or celebrating the desired promotion in some cases is associated with the consumption of alcohol in larger or smaller quantities. During the event, hardly anyone wonders what the excessive drinking of alcohol and the so-called. film cut off. It turns out that the situation can have a big impact on the brain. In an interview with the portal, the neurologist Dr. Olga Milczarek explained what happens to the nervous system during the “default”.
Why does the movie stop? The situation occurs during the decomposition of alcohol
Dr. Milczarek first pointed out that it is not toxic in itself and only at the moment of decomposition in the body it contributes to its poisoning. She also explained that drinking alcohol, regardless of its type, never positively affects the human nervous system.
The neurologist said that the “chopped film” is the result of alcohol poisoning of certain areas of the brain. The occurring processes cause, among others, weakening of conduction in the circulatory system and pressure drops.
How does the brain react when the movie cuts off? The neurologist explains
In an interview with the Medonet portal, Dr. Milczarek added that alcohol “can disturb the level of consciousness, leading to reduced contact, coma or even death in response to respiratory inhibition.” While drinking a few glasses of alcohol causes a state of euphoria due to the increase in serotonin (the hormone of happiness), too much alcohol triggers inhibitory mechanisms.
– The brain’s ability to remember or store information is impaired or even disabled, and these changes often become permanent. It is an indisputable fact that in the long run alcohol will make it difficult for us to retrieve information, but not only those related to the past event. It will also prevent the assimilation of new knowledge, explained the neurologist. – One social gathering sprinkled with alcohol, one occasional intoxication, will not change the function of our brain. We know that such regeneration after alcohol takes about 6-12 weeks for the brain, but if we repeat episodes of alcohol intoxication during this period of abstinence, the changes may be permanent, i.e. irreversible, emphasized Dr. Milczarek.
The expert also pointed out that regular alcohol consumption over time leads to brain degeneration, which “shrinks as in dementia”. It should be remembered that consuming large amounts of alcohol or drinking small doses often can end up with damage to the nervous system.
