Function: controls voluntary movement, expressive language, and managing higher level executive functions.

When alcohol affects the Frontal lobes, it's hard to control your emotions and urges. You may act without thinking or may even become violent. Drinking alcohol over a long period of time can damage the frontal lobes forever.

Parietal lobes

Function:receiving and processing sensory input such as touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain

How alcohol effects it:You may have a loss of fine motor skills and you have a much slower reaction time when you drink alcohol

Occipital Lobes

It is the visual processing area of the brain. It is associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.

Alcohol affects the occipital lobe by creating visual disturbances such as blurred vision, double vision, distortion or loss of depth. It also causes slurred speech and hearing, and lack of control

Temperal lobes

Function: managing your emotions, processing information from your senses, storing and retrieving memories, and understanding language

How does alcohol effect it: when drinking alcohol your vision will blur, you will have slurred speech and hearing, lack of control when drinking alcohol.

It is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. It plays an important role in language and attention and can help people with vision and eye movement.

Alcohol exposure can result in cerebellar ataxia, changes in hand movements, and impaired postural stability and balance. The developing cerebellum is extremely vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol.

Brain Stem

Function: breathing, consciousness, blood pressure, heart rate, and sleep

How does alcohol effect it: when drinking alcohol the brain cell gets effected by losing its cells the more you drink alcohol.

The three roles of the spinal cord are to send motor commands from the brain to the body, send sensory information from the body to the brain, and coordinate reflexes.

Dehydration from consuming too much alcohol is one of the main contributors to hangovers. Not only does dehydration cause hangovers, it also puts a strain on your spine.
