5: How Alcohol Impacts Your Body, Brain, and Overall Health

In today’s episode, we cover a fascinating discussion by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neurobiology and ophthalmology professor at Stanford University, on the effects of alcohol on the human body and brain. Huberman dives into everything from the chemistry of alcohol to its impacts on organs like the gut, liver, and brain. He explains how alcohol interacts with neurochemicals like serotonin and dopamine, influencing mood and potentially contributing to addiction. The episode also covers the science behind hangovers, ways to reduce their effects, and the long-term health risks of chronic drinking, including cancer. Huberman’s insights offer valuable guidance for making informed choices about alcohol and prioritizing overall wellness."
