After getting so drunk I hugged a bouncer before blacking out, I wondered, what does alcohol do to our brains?
Why do some people get drunk more quickly and feel more impaired? Biology and genetics play a role but alcohol’s effects on the brain are complex

Should Australia mandate cancer warnings for alcoholic drinks?
“Drink responsibly” messages have not stopped risky drinking. Some say we need cancer warnings on wine bottles and beer cans like we do on cigarette packs.
