Alcohol is like a party in your brain. It tells some of the brain’s messengers to slow down, making you feel relaxed and silly. This makes it easier for you to laugh at jokes or forget what you said before.
Examples
- After one drink, you might laugh at something that isn’t funny.
- Two drinks later, you might forget your name.
- Three drinks in, you might start dancing on a table.
