I take it you mean what influence alcohol has on the brain. It´s effect is to constrict the blood vessels going to the brain with the consequence that less oxygen can get there which gives you that woozy feeling when you imbibe too excess.
The article is interesting on a chemical level and explains the biochemical reactions really well. What I am really interested in is a higher level study on overall social and cognitive results of moderate drinking. I bet you 'll find plenty of anecdotal opinions with claims that small amounts of alcohol help with coding and also social awkwardness
I've told that before, but I'll say it once more. Some people are badly calibrated. Two drinks don't make us drunk, they make us normal. I'm not incapacitated, not foolish, not violent, just in tune with the others. Alcohol is the bit of jitter that make the system not corner itself.
* Edit: that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Again, it's "Alcohol(in some form) is Good" and then "Alcohol(in general) is bad." Just like Eggs. And just like Butter. All these scientists can test for is gross amounts, and not the small.

No, it just makes you a bit dumber so that you stop noticing the discomfort. * Edit: that is not necessarily a bad thing.

The term for this is "self-medication".

I'm not necessarily sure there's anything wrong with that.
I do it at parties, especially when I don't know lots of people.
On the other hand, if you feel like you're dysfunctional most of the time, and you're regularly keeping yourself slightly buzzed to mitigate that, you might have a problem.
