    That's natural dehydration what's caused by excessive use of alcohol that's why people drink a lot of water following day after alcohol or drugs use or abuse and it takes time to get water and liquid's back to body.

    What kind of tests/scans are there if you want to see if you've damaged your brain with alcohol?
    I would like to get myself checked but I don't even know where to begin since I don't even know what the tests/scans are called...

      Maybe get a CT scan. Make an appointment with a neurologist. Also go to your primary care doctor and get standard blood work done to check your organs.

    if a baby is born to a couple that drink and do drugs then the baby has a Drug addiction when born and the mother puts a small amount of drugs in the baby bottle so the child will sleep all night, than the couple takes the child to partys with a lot of drugs gets the child high to, long story short, this was what happen to my Husban by his mother and father, as a adult as much as he try to stop from drugs he would for awhile, went to a lot of rehab and only got worst, at the age of 42 he over Dosed and died. so I know that it can depend on how instilled Drugs and drinking are on someone, The Babys born with these addictions and grow up with it, those are the ones that don't make it so very sad to do this to a child!

      MrNecryptic An addict will never truly be “normal?” This is absolutely false. You have no basis to this claim and this cannot apply to every drug or alcohol abuser. I hope an addict doesn’t come on UA-cam and read that. There is hope.
