Alcohol and the central nervous system
Abstract
Alcohol is a widely consumed beverage that has significant effects on most organs of the body. The nervous system is a particular target for the damaging consequences of alcohol, caused either directly by the toxic effect of alcohol or by problems related to alcoholism. This article discusses the central nervous system effects of alcohol.
