Alcohol and Your Brain (Long Term)

            Alcohol not only has all of these short term effects on the brain, it also has some long term effects as well. When you consume too much alcohol, you can damage the part of the brain known as the hippocampus. If this part of the brain is damaged, it can be hard to learn and remember things in the long run. You can also permanently damage nerve cells and other parts of the brain. Most damage is irreversible. Drinking too much can also cause Epilepsy and depression.
