          Teen Binge Drinking Tied to Adult Brain and Neurotransmission Changes

          Young adults who heavily consumed alcohol during their teenage years exhibited thinner cortical gray matter and modified neurotransmission. Utilizing MRI and TMS-EEG technology, the researchers identified lower gray matter thickness and increased N45 potential, indicative of inhibitory GABA and excitatory glutamate neurotransmitter activity. This study underlines the long-term, detrimental impact of adolescent heavy drinking on adult brain structure and function.

          Binge Drinking Increases COVID-19 Risk in Young Women

          Women in their 20's who frequently binge drink had the highest self-reported prevalence of COVID-19 infection among subgroups within a study of alcohol and drug usage during the pandemic. Researchers say the increased infection risk was due to binge drinkers being less vigilant with their social behaviors as a result of intoxication.
