Memory Loss Binge Drinking
Permanent brain damage from alcohol as a teenager?
I am a 19 years old (almost 20) and just spent the last 1 ½ years in the abroad with a couple of friends working part time abroad. It just occurred to me recently that I drank too much alcohol while I was there. I worked out be the equivalent of 5-6 beers a day for 1.5 years. Only took about 4 days a week and although the average was about 5-6 beers a day (i binge drinking and had about 12-15 standard drinks per session). I wonder if the amount that could have lifelong consequences for drunk my health, such as brain damage (loss memory, etc). Someone took this much to help themselves when they were 18-19 years old? I do not feel different than I did before drinking but I could permanently damage the brain? Thank you. PS. I know that American children are indoctrinated with the propaganda against alcohol in schools for ID and not getting answers that do not reflect the conservative BS.
Yes, it can cause some problems. It is impossible to say how much. Probably not very noticeable. Your brain probably has not made as many connections between neurons, it would have been able to. You can correct this: do not drink now and in the future, doing crossword puzzles or brain-challenging "things to encourage brain cells to grow and make more connections. The problem with the connections of neurons is not really clear, except that: 1. With more connections, you can think a little faster (not really noticeable), and may be able to get some more creative ideas that would otherwise be able to (not too noticeable, in fact) and 2. If you later get a head injury (like a car accident) or some sort of head trauma or illness or problem (accident stroke, for example), your brain will be able to recover better and faster if you have other connections. Think of it as a series of roads. You can take the highway to get to some (the connection of the main neuron), but if that road was blocked for some reason, you need to be able to find a new route to information (this would be the use of off and on ramps and side streets to travel). The more connections the brain, the more likely is that if something happens to one part of your brain, you still have enough connections to work, and will be less noticeable that it has had an injury. Because these issues are not really noticeable (you if you know you never could have been smarter, really) unless you have an accident or a problem later, not to worry. Now, the amount of damage they have done to his liver – which is what it is doing. You do not want to ruin your liver. I've seen people on dialysis, and do not want that. Generally, it takes years for that to happen, but I have seen younger people with this problem (early 30).
