Alcohol lies to us. Alcohol causes damage to the brain - even just a little bit of alcohol. It disrupts something called white matter.
So gray matter is nerve cell bodies, and white matter is nerve cell tracks. White matter is the highways in your brain that transmit information and impulses, and even slight alcohol consumption has been shown to disrupt the white matter in your brain. Any alcohol increases your risk of seven different types of cancer.
So you have to ask yourself, Why?
Where does alcohol come in? Oh well, it helps me unwind. Well, 15-second breath work will help you relax and unwind, but no side effects will increase your heart rate variability. Alcohol will decrease heart rate variability and brain function, and if it decreases brain function, it decreases decision-making.
