Hormone Release after Alcohol: Do we really feel light after drinking a few drinks or do we start forgetting everything ? Most people drink alcohol because they want to forget some old memories , but are they able to do so? The answer to this is hidden in the hormonal changes in the body , alcohol is not just a drink, but a chemical that creates a deep chemistry with the brain.

 

 

Which hormones are released when you drink alcohol ?

Dopamine

The first thing that is released as soon as you drink alcohol is dopamine , which is called the " pleasure hormone ". This is the same hormone that we get when we eat chocolate or express our love to someone. Alcohol increases this hormone abnormally, which gives the person a feeling of pleasure and the feelings of stress or sadness are suppressed for some time.

GABA

GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is a neurotransmitter that calms the brain. Alcohol increases its effect, making a person feel relaxed . This is the reason why after a few drinks people start falling asleep or forget their worries .

Endorphins

The function of endorphins is to give pleasure and relaxation to the body. Consuming alcohol also increases their level, which reduces sadness or emotional pain.

What does the doctor say?

According to doctors, alcohol temporarily affects the parts of the brain that control emotions and memories . Hormones such as dopamine released during this time can make you feel better for a few hours, but doing this repeatedly has a bad effect on mental health. Doctors say that the habit of relying on alcohol for a long time to forget sorrow can lead to depression , memory loss and addiction.

The solace that alcohol provides is temporary. Hormones do help in forgetting the sorrow, but that does not mean that these are permanent solutions. Professional help, yoga, meditation and talking to loved ones are much more effective and safe solutions to deal with emotional problems.
