Alcohol is toxic to brain cells as noted.
Recovery from brain injury takes long time.......longer than past 'experts' predicted. Alcohol can slow and stop this recovery.
Brain injury trauma can place survivors at risk of developing seizures.
Alcohol can lower the seizure threshold and may trigger seizures.
