You’ll process medication differently
In many cases, alcohol and medication just dont mix. Even just one liquor shot can change how your body responds to certain medicines. For one, alcohol is broken down and detoxified in the liver, the same organ that breaks down many medications. If your liver is busy clearing your system of alcohol, it can cause some medicines to build up in your system to dangerous levels. Another reason to be extra cautious while mixing medication and alcohol is that alcohol can intensify some side effects of certain medicines like drowsiness or trouble concentrating. If youre taking any medications, youll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist if its safe to drink, even just one shot.
You’ll have lower inhibitions
While one drink wont have you dancing on tables or waking up wondering what you did the night before, it can lower your inhibitions to some degree.You may find that you are more talkative, a bit more relaxed, and not as worried in the moment after just one shot. As soon as the alcohol hits your brain, it raises the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA,) a neurotransmitter that helps you feel relaxed and can lower your anxiety levels. It also increases norepinephrine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that acts as a stimulant. People dont usually say or do things they regret after just one drink, but the more you drink, the more GABA and norepinephrine are released, and the more likely you are to do and say things you wouldnt normally do.
