Alcohol-Related Brain Damage

Alcohol-Related Brain Damage (ARBD) refers to brain injuries caused by excessive alcohol consumption over time. It can lead to difficulty with memory, problem-solving, coordination, and decision-making. Chronic drinking damages brain cells and affects regions responsible for learning and emotions, resulting in cognitive decline and mental health issues. The severity varies depending on drinking patterns and duration. ARBD is often reversible with sustained abstinence and proper medical care, but some effects may become permanent if alcohol consumption continues or damage becomes advanced. Recognizing and addressing alcohol misuse can help prevent or limit brain damage.
