    An extremely simple explanation of the impact of alcohol on the brain. Hope is always eternal that those with alcohol addiction are given the help they require thus also helping with the burden carried by families, in particular, the children of alcoholics. Thank you for posting the video.

    An interesting and thorough explanation of the impact of alcohol on the brain and our health. The burden of these effects are carried not only by the person drinking, but everyone around them, including children. It is vital we talk more about this so families know they are not alone and it's not their fault.

    The profit margins are great and the influence of (government lobbyists) by breweries + distillers prevents the detrimental effects being more widely publicized.

    It’s crazy how physically hazardous and socially harmful alcohol/ethanol is in comparison to drugs that are actually illegal

    Thank you for this important and informative video.
    The sheer ubiquity of alcohol, its social acceptance, and its place in our cultural history, all contribute to its terrible toll upon our lives, families, and communities.
    Not only is alcohol a neurotoxin, a sedative, and a carcinogen, but it is also a brutal form of social control.
    When we consider the spectacular beauty of a healthy brain and body it is obvious that all consumption of alcohol is a stupid act of self-harm.

    This is very interesting. Despite all of the news we hear about alcohol being safe, just like our food, there is a lot of information being suppressed to push people to think it's okay to drink. Nobody talks about this because everyone drinks! I wonder what RFK Jr. thinks about this as he was once an alcoholic who is trying to make America healthy again with food, but why not with limiting alcohol consumption also!

    Sobriety isn't just about giving up a substance; it's about reclaiming your life. It's the courage to face each day with clarity, the strength to rebuild what was broken, and the wisdom to cherish the beauty of an unaltered reality. In sobriety, you don't lose a crutch - you gain a whole new world of possibilities.

    Some disturbing statistics to deter excess alcohol consumption.That being the case it is pretty hard to imagine a fall in demand for beer and other alcohol beverages across pubs and public houses

    Are there not any beneficial effects among all those facts? I don't drink but I'm a bartender and all these are not great selling points.

      There aren't any beneficial physiological effects on the brain no. For some people there are beneficial social effects around drinking alcohol, but that's a different topic!

      Can you comment on the brains ability to recover or rebuild once abstinence is acquired? I’m sure there’s a tipping point but for example someone who drinks heavily a few times a month then ceases completely, can they recover from the damage? Thanks for the informative video, it seems to support the disease concept of AUD.
