Lets face it, alcohol is romanticized in
countries all across the world and America is no
different. Whether youre a wise wine wielder or
a barbecue beer bro, one common problem that all
alcohol drinkers face is the looming threat of
addiction.
The Problem Is Not Knowing When To Stop
Casual alcohol drinking is not expressively
detrimental to your health. In fact, studies have
shown that relatively moderate amounts of certain
alcoholic beverages (such as red wine) can
actually be good for you. However, prolonged
alcohol abuse is never a good thing, in fact over
the years it can seriously affect our overall
health. One of the most common conditions that
alcohol dependence and alcoholism can cause is
brain damage. You may have heard doctors or
experts in medical detox centers San Diego
talking about wet brain, this is a specific
type of brain damage that is caused by alcoholism.

The Devastating Consequences of Continuous Abuse

• Known as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome in medical
  facilities, such as medical detox centers San
  Diego, wet brain isnt actually the direct
  degeneration of brain cells by alcohol. Instead,
  it is actually a health problem that is caused by
  a Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. How does this
  relate to alcohol? Well, alcohol actually blocks
  the cellular absorption of Vitamin B1. This isnt
  good for your brains cells and as a result they
  go haywire.
• However, the effects of a deficiency in Vitamin
  B1 doesnt stop there. If this continues for a
  long period of time your body to not be able to
  process great amounts of carbohydrates and sugars
  (vitamin B1 is essential for this) as well as the
  the aforementioned death of your vital brain
  cells.

The Signs Of Wet Brain

• So how can you know if someone has wet brain?
  Some of the most prevalent warning symptoms of
  this medical condition include

?Regularly occurring delusions thinking that
something happened when in reality it didnt
?Weakening of short term memory ?Deteriorating
muscle control spasms and unexplainable
weakness ?Spastic movement of the eyes blurry
vision, twitching, weak eyelids

• During the early stages, wet brain can be treated
  if the patient is detoxed from alcohol and
  subjected to multiple Vitamin B1 injections. If
  this medical condition is treated early enough
  then the chances of recovery are high. If it
  progresses too far then the damage cause to your
  brain and body is most likely irreversible. In
  fact, approximately 20 of people who develop
  this medical condition die as a result of the
  symptoms.

  Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome? Well the answer is
