  • Glutamate is an excitatory amino acid that is part of the transmitter systems in the brain that might be affected to produce alcohol's "intoxication"; this amino acid is located throughout the brain and can be inhibited or enhanced by different doses of alcohol.
  • Poor judgment is a common occurrence when the brain is influenced by alcohol.
  • How does alcohol affect a person? Alcohol affects every organ in the body. It is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes; however, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the excess alcohol to circulate throughout the body. The intensity of the effect of alcohol on the body is directly related to the amount consumed.
  • Much medical research has indicated that excessive use of alcohol can break down heart muscle and cause a condition that is referred to as cardiomyopathy; this information can be extremely useful to individuals who are heavy drinkers and have a family history of heart disease.
