Drinking affects thinking.
Alcohol affects all parts of your brain. This means it affects all aspects of your behaviour, movement and perception.
Alcohol makes it more difficult for your brain to send messages to your muscles, affecting your coordination, speech and judgement.
It also affects your memory and how you view the world. Someone who's drunk alcohol will not have a proper idea of how they are behaving or what they are capable of. They may be more aggressive than usual.
Drinking alcohol negatively affects how well you sleep.
Alcohol is a depressant. People often think alcohol will make them happy, but it actually slows down the nervous system, slowing messages to and from the brain. It can also affect emotions.
'Alcohol in the Mind' is available to buy as part of our KS3/4 alcohol leaflets pack and KS3/4 alcohol posters pack. Visit our Literature store to find out more.
