Why Alcohol Makes You Lose Control: The Science Behind It

Ever wondered why a night out with a few drinks can sometimes turn into a chaotic mess? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' breaks down how alcohol messes with your brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for decision-making and rational thought. When you drink, this area of your brain doesn't work as it should, making you act impulsively and lose control.
The episode dives into the nitty-gritty of how alcohol disrupts these essential brain functions, leading to those regrettable decisions and actions. It's a must-listen for anyone curious about why they—or their loved ones—can't seem to keep it together after a few drinks. Whether you're on a journey to cut back or quit drinking entirely, understanding the science behind these behaviors can be a game-changer.
