So far, the negative impact of excessive alcohol consumption the most widely known is drunk alone, and that too may disappear by itself. But it turned out negative effects not just stop there. Not just cause drunk, but alcohol also has other negative effects to the body. Impact of high alcohol-containing beverages in humans are destroying the human body's metabolic system which then caused damage to some elements of addiction and the brain.
Alcoholic beverages have different levels. For example, beer and soda alcohol (1-7% alcohol), wines (10-15% alcohol), and liquor or referred to the spirit (35-55% alcohol). Blood alcohol concentration is achieved within 30-90 minutes after drinking.

For the purposes of research, the research team involving 78 male and 24 female alcoholics aged 18-40 years. The research team then conducted a series of tests of brain function, non-alcoholic 68 people into the control group in this research.
The results mentioned, women alcoholics have a poor test results in terms of visual memory, cognitive flexibility skills, problem solving and planning.
The researchers concluded alcohol's effects on the metabolism of women different from men. In addition, the male body has more water content so it can reduce the impact of alcohol. Another reason put forward is the enzyme that converts alcohol into an inactive material less in women.
