The Relationship between Alcohol and Brain Fog
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and can impact brain functions including the ability to communicate with the rest of the body. When alcohol depresses and slows down brain functions, this can also lead to a decrease in cognitive functions leading to a common alcohol-induced phenomenon called brain fog. Alcohol-induced brain fog is a common symptom of excessive alcohol use, especially in those who have alcohol use disorder. Brain fog is defined by a struggle with confused thoughts, unreliable memory and overall mental lethargy. Brain fog can also be described as having a cognitive haze. This type of brain fog is common with alcohol consumption and can gradually improve with alcohol cessation.
