Alcohol And Nervous System.

Author : Manasi Patil

Ethanol, also commonly called alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol is the principal type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeasts. It’s focus on the effect of taking alcohol, especially on teenagers. When teenagers meeting with their friends or having party, maybe because of other people, maybe because of Instant Gratification or because of Misinformation, they may have some alcohol without adults in order to be more excited or ‘cool’. Having alcohol has negative affects on the nervous system and other body organs. The brain is made up of more than 100 billion neurons. Each makes tens of thousands of connections. Alcohol will destroy or even kill neurons. This will make a great harm to teenagers brain development. Alcohol is able to seep into the brain because it can go across the blood brain barrier. This means that it can directly move in the blood and touch the brain cells. Because of this, alcohol kills brain cells easily. Brain cells are mostly fastened on Central nervous system , which is also called CNS.

The CNS has responsibility to take in information through the senses, controlling motor function, thinking, understanding, and reasoning. It also controls emotions .

Alcohol can affect several parts of the brain, but, in general, contracts brain tissues, destroys brain cells, as well as depresses the central nervous system. Excessive drinking over a prolonged period of time can cause serious problems with cognition and memory.

Alcohol is a liquid substance which people drink to have a good time and loosen up. It is a sedative-hypnotic drug that slows down the workings of the body’s central nervous system. Most alcohol is poisonous, however the body can tolerate ethyl alcohol, which is the same stuff that goes in hand sanitizer. Ethyl alcohol on it’s own isn’t much of a drink, that is why it’s mixed with other things to make it into beer, wine or spirits.

So what is a space station? The international space station is a large spacecraft that orbits around the earth, it is a home were astronauts stay during their space mission, but the vital question is, why do we build it in the first place?

Many people cannot travel like they used to, they cannot meet their families and cousins. Whoever had travelled during the pandamic are stuck in diffrent places unable to return home on time. With the school being closed and students unable to to meet their friends in person. The pandamic has changed everything like the way we communicated and more.  Children are not able to run around and play. Masks and sanitizers have become essential items in every household.
