Hippocampus when impaired by alcohol, play an important role in memory

The brain is the body's control center. The brain is part of a body system called the Central Nervous System. CNS is responsible for taking in information through the senses, motor function, thinking, understanding, and reasoning. While all body systems feel the effects of alcohol, the CNS is particularly sensitive.

There are parts of the brain that affected by alcohol, such as:
