Although alcohol is typically thought of purely as a depressant, at low concentrations it can actually stimulate certain areas of the brain. Areas of the brain responsible for planning and learning are dulled. A related effect, caused by even low levels of alcohol, is the tendency for people to become more animated in speech and movement. This is due to increased metabolism in areas of the brain associated with movement,Often, after much alcohol has been consumed, it is possible to experience what is called as vertigo, the sense that the room is spinning. This is associated with abnormal eye movements .Inside the systems that is responsible for the movement of the body, there is a flexible substance called a Cupula, which moves when the body moves. However, when alcohol gets in to the bloodstream it distorts the shape of the Cupula, causing it to press on to the hairs inside ears. The abnormal nerve impulses tell the brain that the body is rotating, making the eyes spin round to compensate. When this wears off gradually the brain would have adjusted to the spinning, this is often a common symptom of the HANGOVER.Extreme overdoses can lead to alcohol poisoning and death due to respiratory depression.An alcohol hangover is associated with a variety of symptoms that may include dehydration, tiredness, headache, vomiting, weakness, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. The symptoms vary from person to person, usually happens several hours after drinking.
