WHAT IS ALCOHOL?

Alcohol in drinks is a specific small molecule called ‘ethanol’ which

makes you ‘drunk’ and affects your body every time you drink.

When you drink alcohol, ethanol molecules are absorbed into your

blood and travel to all parts of the body, including the brain.

Alcohol causes chemical changes in the brain by suppressing

normal activity, meaning it has a depressant effect.
