How come the drunker you get, the more you want to drink?
In: Biology
When you drink alcohol (or any kind of drug really) your brain releases dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Dopamine is also released when you’re having fun or having sugary food, for example, to tell you to do it again sometime.
But when you’re drunk, the brain is unable to function properly and releases way too much dopamine. This is why getting high on drugs again is so irresistible.
