Binge drinking in teenage can trigger risky behaviour? Know the dangers of alcohol on brain health

Hindustan Times  

Alcohol in social situations is deep-rooted in our traditions, and has a more acceptance status than other drugs. Binge drinking and brain health: Binge drinking involves drinking large amounts of alcohol in very short period of time. However, when there is a large amount of alcohol consumed in very less time, alcohol does not get completely metabolised, making it pass through the brain and disrupting the balance of the neurotransmitters, that can affect brain functioning. Binge drinking can harm brain functioning in adolescents. It can affect the nervous system, disrupting the immune system and triggering inflammation, which can further affect brain health.
