What gives the euphoria when you are drunk?!


Question:

What gives the euphoria when you are drunk?

How, or what gives the euphoric feeling when you are drunk off of alcohol?


Answers:
Alcohol temporarily elevates levels of a brain hormone called Seratonin, which causes the sense of euphoria.

This is responsible for people getting into drunken binges or becoming alcoholics. They need increasing doses of alcohol to maintain sufficient Seratonin levels- without which they feel depressed and incapable of work.

Alcohol lessens your inhibitions. It's a CNS depressent.

Alcohol depletes oxygen flow to the brain. This causes a euphoric feeling. People who come close to drowning also have a euphoric feeling due to the oxygen flow being cut off to the brain.
