What happens to the brain after drinking alcohol
Helmut Joints, researcher at Heidelberg University, explains in his report that the ethanol present in wine is a very small molecule of alcohol. Which easily dissolves in water and blood as soon as it enters the body. Since the human body contains 70-80 percent water, due to which it easily reaches the brain through the body.
After reaching the brain, it starts affecting the neurotransmitters of the brain. Due to which the nervous system gets affected and after this, a state of confusion arises for the person and things are not remembered and the person behaves strangely. Within no time he becomes a victim of alcohol blackout.
