What does the new research say about alcohol?
In research published recently in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, two groups were studied. One with 543 participants and the other with 327 participants, all of whom consumed alcohol at least 3-4 times per month.
In this research, it was found that the numbing effect of alcohol was greater in people who consume alcohol in large quantities than in others. In these people, less sympathy for the pain of others and more aggressive behavior was observed. Research has shown that the less pain a person feels after drinking intoxicants, the more willing they are to inflict pain on someone else.
Effects of long-term alcohol consumption
If the habit of drinking alcohol persists for a long time, it can further increase pain tolerance and aggression. Apart from this, liver and brain damage can occur, which also leads to emotional imbalance and loss of social connection.
In fact, alcohol reduces the activity of the prefrontal cortex, which reduces a person’s self-control and increases aggressive behavior. At the same time, alcohol can also increase dopamine levels. It can make a person angrier, Doctors believe alcohol alters pain tolerance and aggression by affecting neurotransmitters and brain hormones..
