The 2 criteria to make the diagnosis center around the patient experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking alcohol and tolerance or requiring an increasing amount of alcohol to achieve the same effect. Several factors contribute to the development of alcohol use disorder. Stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression can lead to alcohol misuse as a coping…

The kidneys are responsible for hormone balancing, including the hormone that regulates blood pressure. When the signals coming from the brain and heart are adjusting for high blood pressure, the kidneys cannot respond appropriately. The kidneys have to work harder to maintain blood pressure balance as well as continue the filtration process. Once drinking stops,…

Moreover, although increased serotonin levels at the synapses in the brain can moderate alcohol consumption, additional factors contribute to continued alcohol abuse. This article reviews serotonin’s functions in the brain and the consequences of acute and chronic alcohol consumption on serotonin-mediated (i.e., serotonergic) signal transmission. Yes, regular physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise, can increase dopamine…
