Alcohol intoxication affects the brain, causing slurred speech, clumsiness, and delayed reflexes. There is an increased risk of developing an alcohol use disorder for teenagers while their brain is still developing. [2] Adolescents who drink have a higher probability of injury including death. [2]
Alcohol alters platelet response; moderate alcohol consumption can increase the amount of time bleeding by slowing down coagulation (as platelet aggregation decreases). Moreover, heavy alcohol consumption can lead to increased platelet aggregation thus increasing blood clotting and possibly leading to strokes and/or thrombosis. [13]
If the reaction stops part way through the metabolic pathways, which happens because acetic acid is excreted in the urine after drinking, then not nearly as much energy can be derived from alcohol, indeed, only 215.1 kJ/mol. At the very least, the theoretical limits on energy yield are determined to be −215.1 kJ/mol to −1 325.6 kJ/mol.
Alcohol is a tiny molecule, bathing nearly every cell in the body when we drink. The basic trajectory of liquor in the body is from a person's mouth, through the esophagus, to the stomach ...
Huberman describes the effect of alcohol on the gut as a two-hit model: It kills the good bacteria in the gut and disrupts the lining of the gut—releasing bad bacteria into your bloodstream.

“Given that alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and has a half-life of anywhere from six hours or longer depending on type of alcohol and volume consumed, you want to drink it at ...
Consuming large amounts of alcohol over a period of time can impair normal brain development in humans. [10] [vague] Deficits in retrieval of verbal and nonverbal information and in visuospatial functioning were evident in youths with histories of heavy drinking during early and middle adolescence.
