If a 18 year old person heavily drinks for one year, what affects will it have on her brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kills brain cells: She is killing every type of brain cell she has. It can affect memory, motor skills ,speech, reasoning, mood, personality - the list goes on and on. If someone you know has a severe drinking problem, encourage them to attend AA. You should attend Al-Anon to learn how to deal with someone who is abusing alcohol, so as not to become an enabler.
