Question

Why does a person after consuming alcohol cannot maintain balance or stand straight?
Which part of his brain is getting affected by alcohol?

Answer 1

Dear student.

Alcohol slows down the functioning of nerve cell, especially motor neurons, thus making a person unresponsive. Thus a person stumble, fumble and could not properly interpret words.

Alcohol can affect different parts of the brain, most prominently it effects cerebellum which controls movement.
