Question

5. Which of the following statements is NOT true about alcohol and stress?

Answer 1

This statement is not true: Alcohol reduces long-term stress, due to the stress-response elimination effect

Alcohol is a substance that produces pleasant effects in lower concentrations, but excessive amounts are toxic for the organism.  

Alcohol consumption may alter both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, i.e., the chemical messenger that transmits signals between neurons. For example, it has been shown that alcohol alters glutamate neurotransmission, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and dopamine neurotransmitter levels, whereby different brain pathways are slowed down.

This drug (alcohol) has depressant and sedative effects on the central nervous system by interrupting neurotransmitter signals between neurons. In consequence, this substance may reduce short-term stress, but this substance does not have long-term stress elimination capacity.

In resume, alcohol may reduce short-term stress but this substance does not have long-term stress, and it has been shown that excessive alcohol consumption has a toxic effect on the organism.
