'Scary' simulation shows everything that happens to your body when you drink alcohol

No, it doesn't just turn you into a legend

A 'scary' simulation has summarised everything that happens to the body when you drink alcohol, and it's putting a lot of people off.

The human body is, of course, a natural source of interest for many of us, especially when it comes to what happens when we put it through certain processes, like fasting for instance.

One thing that it's pretty much agreed upon by scientists and health professionals, however, is the perhaps unsurprising news that excessive consumption of alcohol isn't so good for the body.

As fun as it might be to order those cocktails at the club or on the beach, it's important to do so in moderation, as excessive use of alcohol lead to some pretty significant health problems.

These days, we are seeing more young people and celebrities embrace sobriety as part of a healthy lifestyle, but it seems as if one of content creator Zack D's latest simulations is putting people off even the occasional pint in the pub, despite it being arguably one of his most normal ones yet.

How does alcohol affect your brain?

You'd struggle to find anyone over the age of 18 who hasn't done anything stupid after a few drinks, whether that's deciding to run home from the club, or stealing some traffic cones on your way.

While alcohol might give you the ability to dance like nobody's watching or give you some Dutch courage, it also seriously limits our brain function, as Zack D explains in the simulation on Instagram.

Once the alcohol 'enters your stomach', it gets 'quickly absorbed into the bloodstream', which then sends signals to the brain and 'hijacks the messages that your brain cells send to each other'.

"As it slows down some signals, it becomes difficult to focus and move naturally. And it takes over the chemical responsible for feeling tired, meaning you feel relaxed and sleepy." he continues.

What happens to your body after drinking alcohol?

Because of the takeover of your brain signals, this almost slows down the 'messages to your muscles', according to the video, which makes it 'difficult to stand and walk' - hence, why you are stumbling around all over the place.

It continues: "Your body tries to to break down the alcohol in your liver but if you drink too much, your liver can't keep up, making you feel even more drunk."

And sorry to bring this up, but alcohol is effectively poisoning your body, and we're all too aware of some of the long term health impacts of drinking regularly.

In the short term, it can also do plenty of damage, even if it's just you stumbling about and falling over after one too many Bacardi Breezers.

And viewers were quick to share their opinions, as one person simply wrote: "Wow."

Another said: "Gonna think about this next time I drink thanks," while a third commented: "These videos scare me."

How long it takes you to get back to normal after drinking

if you've had a particularly heavy session, you might start feeling back to normal by the next evening, provided you're not prone to some terrible hangovers.

But according to the NHS, it can take the liver up to two weeks to completely return to normal after you've been drinking, which suggests that for some people, it may well never completely recover.

You might not want to give up the goods forever, but this simulation has certainly made people more aware about what they're putting inside their bodies, with even one sip of beer as a teenager potentially causing some harm in the future.
