>> Heavy drinkers often have a depletion of glutamine that can lead to anxiety and cognitive impairment. There are studies about it and Joan Mathews Larson writes a lot about it in her books.
I am a pretty heavy drinker, 6-8 beers a day, EVERYDAY. I don't have any Joan Mathews Larson books.
Do you know why this occurs. Is it the brain's oxygen supply and/or the dehydration effect of alcohol that causes cognitive impairment? Why would it cause anxiety?
