Essentially this theory states that when people drink, their attentional focus becomes narrowed. So this idea of alcohol myopia kind of explains why alcohol can have so many different effects.

With a focus on long-term effects, Dr. Parrott sheds light on how alcohol impacts brain chemistry and cognition over time. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationship between alcohol and aggressive behavior, and the steps we can take to foster safer communities.
