<br/><br/> GETTING STUPID -- "New research suggests that young drinkers are courting danger. Because their brains are still developing well into their twenties, teens who drink excessively may be destroying significant amounts of mental capacity in ways that are more dramatic than in older drinkers." (DISCOVER) This article provides details of a Duke University study which reveals a relationship between excessive drinking in teens and a loss of memory and motor skills.  YOUR BRAIN ON ALCOHOL -- "With the aid of sophisticated new imaging techniques, scientists can look inside the brains of alcoholics at the very moment they're being tempted by thoughts of cold beers, crisp martinis, or fully ripened cabernet francs. The new science shows just how alcohol can rewire the circuitry of the brain, eroding its ability to feel pleasure and act wisely, and replacing it with a locus for intense craving and destructive behavior." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article describes how researchers are studying the impact of alcohol on the brain and discusses the process of addiction.
