The profit margins are great and the influence of (government lobbyists) by breweries + distillers prevents the detrimental effects being more widely publicized.
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.
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.
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!
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
I didn’t have drink till I was 40years old when my marriage was broken it dulls the pain I always like wine now I have lived a long life but I know I would be better if I didn’t have it at all I do pity alcoholics it’s destructive
Yeah yeah yeah, but it's also not known as Dutch Courage for nothing. Plus, it's a lovely buddy when you live in isolation and no, I don't want any friends. But must stop as can't afford it now and only drink JD.
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.

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

As an extraterrestrial from zerrum II I find it extremely puzzling why humans ingest Ethanol.

Alcohol plus brain = magic

Its just an excuse to allow horrible evil behavior(s) and physical.artacks , verbal.etc
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.

Maybe run with the social congeniality argument? 🤔
no.

wHY DO people DRINK
Trauma, in my case. Used to be recommended for vets.
Relaxation effects. But like everything, if used, needs to be in moderation only.
I hate drunk kitties
