Booze. It goes straight to the BRAIN.
The old adage claiming alcohol “goes straight to the head” is actually true according to new research. Scientists say booze breaks down in the brain, rather than the liver.
The finding turns previous theories upside down and scientists believe it holds the key to combating binge drinking and alcoholism. Researchers hope the results could also one day be used to treat conditions such as strokes, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
The study sheds fresh light on why people can get tipsy after only one or two drinks. The response can trigger unsteadiness, slurred speech and slower reaction times.
So... shots? Anyone?
