Alcohol consumption has become a popular let-down these days. People of all age groups consume alcohol, starting as young as 18 years of age (or sometimes even younger). Some drink occasionally and some are regular drinkers. Though consumption varies from person to person, there are few drawbacks of having alcohol. The question that arises is whether is it normal to feel lazy and tired after having alcohol. The answer is yes. Let’s have a look at how and why.
The reason we feel lazy after consuming alcohol is scientifically proven. The main reason is the alcohol depresses the central nervous system. Its effects make you feel drowsy and you fall asleep faster. With a lesser amount of alcohol you feel slightly tipsy, hence you’ll probably feel fine. If you dink more than ther permissible limit, you will probably feel pretty drunk, you quickly fall asleep. Drinking light to moderate amounts of alcohol may not impact you as much.
If we look at this from the scientific perspective, we’ll learn how it enters our bloodstream within 20 minutes of consumption. It alters the functioning of the brain affecting the brain cells. In the brain, alcohol targets protein effects which are present in brain molecules. That is why when people drink alcohol, they feel lazy and tired.
