Answer:

interferes with release of neural transmitter GABA

Explanation:

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, meaning it slows down brain functioning and neural activity. Alcohol does this by enhancing the effects of the neural transmitter GABA

depressants essentially "look" like the neural transmitter and so they go in and block the plasce in the brain between synapses, so when the body tries to release GABA, it appears as if it is already filled in, but in reality it is the alcohol that has filled it. once they start buidling up, they block enough that it impairs brain activity

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
