1(800) 615-1067Alcohol affects many parts of the body, including the brain, and can impair various bodily functions, including balance and coordination. When you drink alcohol, it can affect the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movements and maintaining balance.
Alcohol can also affect the vestibular system, which is the part of the inner ear that helps to maintain balance. When alcohol is present in the bloodstream, it can affect the fluid in the inner ear, which can cause dizziness or vertigo.
Additionally, alcohol can affect the sensory input from the eyes and the body, which can further contribute to balance problems. Alcohol can slow down the processing of visual information, and also affect the sensation of the feet on the ground, which can make it difficult to maintain balance.
If you find that you are frequently experiencing problems with balance when you drink alcohol, it may be a sign that you are drinking too much or that alcohol is having a negative impact on your body. It’s important to seek professional help if you are concerned about your drinking behavior or are experiencing negative physical or emotional symptoms as a result of alcohol consumption.
