Answer 1

Answer: c. brain  

Explanation:

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant drug., with sedative property and effects that can affect various parts of the brain, not just those parts responsible for memory, but also the coordination of movements, breathing and altering levels of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that carry signals to the body. Its action on the brain causes the degeneration of nervous tissue, with the death of the neurons, thereby compromising brain functions, including memory. We use our memory to perceive and understand everything that surrounds us, it can last seconds or even minutes, and long-term memory with the duration of days, months or years.

The consumption of drinks with alcohol content leads to memory loss, which gets worse and worse over the years. Injuries to neurons can also lead to impairment of the motor function, even making speech difficult, leading to amnesia and personality changes.
