I det den passerer inn i hjernen din <a title="Did you know beer, wine and spirits all contain ethanol?" href="/no-no/about-alcohol/did-you-know-beer-wine-and-spirits-all-contain-ethanol">har etanolen interaksjon</a> med kjemikaliene og banene som bestemmer følelsene dine og humøret ditt, hvordan du responderer på glede og smerte, og regulerer koordinasjonen, bevegelsen og pusten din <a href="#refs2" data-anchor="#refs2"><sup>(2)</sup></a>.</p> <p>Alkohol kan gjøre deg mindre hemmet og mer avslappet når du drikker moderat. Men jo mer du drikker, jo mer fungerer alkohol som et beroligende middel. Hvis du drikker svært store mengder alkohol på kort tid, kan du risikere å besvime. Personer som blir svært beruset kan falle i koma og slutte og puste <a href="#refs3" data-anchor="#refs3"><sup>(3)</sup></a>. Alle disse responsene involverer forskjellige regioner i hjernen din.</p> <p>Forskning har vist at overdrevent alkoholkonsum over lange perioder kan endre hjernens struktur <a href="#refs4" data-anchor="#refs4"><sup>(4)</sup></a>. Ulikt enkelte andre organer, regenereres ikke hjernen, så all skade er irreversibel. Dette er også én grunn til at å drikke alkohol i ung alder er så farlig. Siden hjerner i puberteten fortsatt er under utvikling, kan alkoholkonsum forstyrre hvordan hjernekoblinger formes, spesifikt de som er involvert i læring og hukommelse <a href="#refs5" data-anchor="#refs5"><sup>(5, 6)</sup></a>.</p> <p>Enkelte vitenskapelige studier har vist at for noen eldre personer kan et moderat alkoholkonsum ha en positiv effekt på hvordan hjernen fungerer. Lett og moderat alkoholkonsum kan forbedre kognisjon og hukommelse, og hjelpe med det mentale forfallet som ofte er sett i forbindelse med aldring <a href="#refs7" data-anchor="#refs7"><sup>(7–9)</sup></a>.</p> <p>Disse effektene gjelder derimot ikke for alle, og du bør ikke begynne å drikke alkohol av helsemessige grunner. Kun kvalifisert helsepersonell kan gi deg råd ved å ta i betraktning drikkemønstrene dine, helse og livsstil.
