Where Does Alcohol Addiction Happen in The Brain?

The reward center of the brain is activated when you consume alcohol. It is responsible for releasing endorphins. Endorphins are the “feel good” hormones that make you happy and comforted. When you drink more endorphins are released into your brain in response to the alcohol. As an increased amount of endorphins discharge into the brain, you begin to feel that you want to drink more in response to that perception. This is where more dangerous behaviors may start. Thus begins a cycle of dependency and addiction that manifests differently for everyone experiencing alcohol dependence.

What Are Some Signs of Alcohol Addiction to be Aware of?

While everyone has a different experience with alcoholism, there are many similar ways that it presents in people.

     

      • Uncharacteristic changes in behavior or volatile and fluctuating mood swings. 

      • Difficulty recalling information, cognitive changes, memory loss.

      • Placing priority on alcohol over other responsibilities.

      • Self-isolation and loss of interest in routine activities.

      • Lack of care concerning personal dress and hygiene.

      • Drinking by yourself or fabricating reasons to drink.

      • Needing alcohol when it is unavailable.

    If you observe any of these warning signs in yourself or a loved one, it is time to seek professional support.
