Deep dives
The Impact of Alcohol on Dopamine and Well-being
Alcohol consumption leads to an initial rise in dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter, which lasts only about 20 to 30 minutes. Following this short-lived high, the body attempts to return to a state of equilibrium by releasing dinoerfin, a downer that counteracts the euphoria from alcohol. This chemical response makes it difficult to replicate the initial pleasurable sensations from subsequent drinks, creating a cycle of craving and disappointment. Understanding this process highlights the challenges individuals face when trying to change their relationship with alcohol, as they may find themselves chasing an elusive sense of joy that alcohol no longer provides.
