Sugar: Alcohol breaks down into a sugar and crosses the blood brain barrier. It's most common initial effect on the body is to elevate mood as your brain processes the sugar. What follows is the depressive phase of drinking, when the sugars are done being processed and the brain starts to eliminate toxins.
