Question

Delta Epsilon fraternity sponsors a Beer Fest every October, where party-goers consume large amounts of alcohol. At the neurotransmitter level, what is happening to the party-goers?​

Answer 1

The sensitivity of receptor sites for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is increased in the party-goers due to the alcohol consumed by them.

Explanation:

• The alcohol which is consumed by the party-goers tends to disturb the balance achieved by the brain between the senses that are existent within the human body.
• It stimulates certain receptors to become more sensitive than others and causes the brain to receive excessive signals from those receptors alone.
• This causes disturbances in the functioning of neural circuits and makes the person behave abnormally.
