In reply to Binge drinking: brain damage?, posted by Adam Donahue on November 10, 2003, at 18:22:38
Hi,
interresting question, i have thought about it too. But on the other hand, i come from Finland and virtually no one here drinks(preferably vodka) until he passed out which sometimes can take longer than 12hrs. I know Finland is one of the top alco(stronger>35%) consumers and I don't think people here are more frequently depressed.
I drink maybe 1-4 times a month and that is always binge drinking. But can i draw parallels between my depression and drinking? Actually i don't know, i remember having symptoms of panic and depression as a child, although i never got any treatment for (didn't tell anyone either)it. One thing is true though, I am more depressed after drinking alcohol, however, but im not sure wheather there is damage done and if so, does the brain somehow repair it.One thing is for sure, it has to be more moderate drinking for me.
NOT one for the road..
