Why is alcohol withdrawal more deadly in comparison to “harder” drugs like heroin?
In: Biology
Alcohol IS “hard”. If it were discovered today, guaranteed it would be illegal or at minimum banned from sale in 99% of jurisdictions.
As for the death problem, it’s makes the brain slow down (below the speed it wants to be). The brain compensates by speeding itself up to balance the effects of the booze. Adjustments up and down take a while, so when you withdrawal everything goes crazy and the result can be seizures.
