The Science of Alcohol and its Effects on the Brain and Body
35:26 - 43:30 (08:04)
The podcast discusses the long-term changes in the neural and hormone circuitry of drinkers, which cause them to want to drink even more to achieve a sense of normalcy, leading to an increase in stress hormones. It highlights the differences in drinking patterns and types of alcohol and their effects.
Clips
Changes in neural and hormone circuitry can occur after a prolonged period of typical drinking patterns, leading to changes in stress modulation and a desire to drink more just to achieve baseline pre-drinking mood.
