Can alcohol change a person?
Alcohol is considered both a stimulant and a depressant, meaning that it can alter the way the brain communicates with the body. When we drink alcohol, we can experience changes in our concentration, coordination, and responsiveness. But it isn’t just our physical and mental awareness that changes when we drink — our personality can also change. Changes in your personality can cause you to interact differently with the people around you — and not always for the better.
