How does alcohol make you drunk? - Judy Grisel

Follow alcohol on its journey through the body to find out how it causes drunkenness and why it affects people differently.
--
Ethanol: this molecule, made of little more than a few carbon atoms, is responsible for drunkenness. Often simply referred to as alcohol, ethanol is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages. So how exactly does it cause drunkenness, and why does it have dramatically different effects on different people? Judy Grisel explores alcohol's journey through the body.

I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

[@SusanaGomez-mp8sk]

YES very sure of Dr.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@Mcdogmom288]

Yes very sure of Dr.benfungi. Ive done shrooms last month in my home. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

unless another neurone catch your attention, link together and form memories

[@swastik3423]

@@niconilo97 🤣🤣Never thought of that !

[@LiterallyRain]

@@niconilo97 Not exactly how it works. When you receive sensory input (hear something, see something, smell something, touch something, taste something, or even think about something (which is what makes humans unique, the ability to conceptualize abstract concepts and learn from them)), it's first embedded in your sensory memory, which is where all sensory information gets located, then it enters the working memory if you supplement the sensory information with attention, and finally it's either encoded into short- or long-term memory, or it's forgotten. The difference between long-term memory, short-term memory, sensory memory, and working memory, is the strength of the connection between the neurons, and what part of the brain the firing pattern (the distinct "roads" that different neurons send electrochemical signals along, each pattern associated with a different memory) goes through. For example, you'll find that memories that go through the amygdala, the emotion regulation center of the brain, tend to be easier to remember, and tend to be long-term memories. That being said, memories in the working memory are still memories which by definition means that they've got an associated firing pattern aka a connection of neurons. You cannot have a conscious thought that isn't a memory, it's not only made into a memory once it becomes a long-term memory. Once the memory is encoded, if it becomes a short-term memory it can be further strengthened into a long-term memory through the process of repetition, or if it becomes a long-term memory it technically remains in the brain indefinitely but it can still be "disturbed" by overwriting information or missing retrieval cues. Basically, it's considered a "memory" even before you become aware of it. What you perceive as a "memory" is actually a "long-term memory," and what he described is referred to as "short-term memory."

[@thenovicenovelist]

@@plusbonus1165 Other individuals recovering from illegal drug and tobacco addiction have told me that getting over an addiction is like a life-long marathon rather than a sprint. They said they have to choose not to go back to their addiction almost daily. One family member, who gave up tobacco after using it for over a decade, said his mouth still waters decades later whenever someone mentions chewing tobacco. Another friend, who has been in recovery for a few years after using harder stuff, said she has to force herself not to go back to that life on a daily basis. I don't know how different alcohol addiction is in comparison, but if you want to stop take it a day at a time and if possible ask your health care provider for resources for getting help. Some groups are religious and others are not depending on your preference. I wish you the best.

Here it is part of the culture, although you say we're alcoholics. A bottle of wine with dinner is not a crime!!! Neither the second bottle after dinner :D. Wine and beer are not considered as alcohol pretty much here, and that's why you can see even underaged teens drinking them on dinner with their parents. Yup, it is completely common and even in some countries absolutely legal. They are considered part of the meal, just like water is. It is what it is. Also for Europeans is pretty common to have better genes for drinking than other races, and simply just hold way more. Scientists tend to say that a bottle of vodka would definitely kill you, but watching the Balkan nations, as well as the Scandinavians, speaking first hand I can say that this is completely up to the person. An Asian could possible die, but a Scandinavian for example, he won't even puke.

This explains why I’m not a fond of alcohol. My endorphins are almost not sensitive, I derive no pleasure from drinking

[@plasmaperce]

Yes we'r all different. I'm usually really sensitive to the gaba effect, alcohol make me sleepy, and desinhibate. But i never experience pure euphoria, it is just socially helpful, so never wanted to drink more than needed or to drink alone

[@pritapp788]

Same here, it gives me no pleasure at all, no sensations, no high, no relaxation. So for years I could never understand the fuss about drinks until I realized not all people's bodies process them the same. I am also lucky to have been able to drink little without developing any addiction or habit, there are other people who get addicted after trying just once.

[@raven_ous2585]

Oh

[@cellogirl11rw55]

I have Bipolar Disorder with ADHD, and I actually find the effects of alcohol on me very displeasing if I have more than one drink. Instead of making me sleepy, it makes me irritable, snappy, angry, and quite *hyper* if I have more than one drink.

Well I've found this very educational!

[@MMAoracle]

From OD’ing on alcohol I presume

[@margo.n]

Невилл Долгопупс well I didn’t say Russia leads on alcohol consumption per person, but that’s a funny stereotype about us, so this moment on the video actually made me laugh 🤣

If you drink but can't feel happiness, remember that alcohol only enhances your mood. Happy mood on alcohol will be a blast, while unhappy mood can get you really sad. I didn't realize it was depression until I quit binge drinking 14 years ago and did some internet research. Today I drink but if after two beers I feel nothing, I go to bed.

[@rizalyncanete5988]

Thank youuuu!

[@jahnavitripathi7851]

This is SO interesting!

[@Crick1952]

Part of why I don't drink very often is because alcoholism runs in my family and I tend to get angry/mean if I have more than one or two glasses or drink on an empty stomach. I was curious as to why this happens.
