wet brain

Frequent blackouts cause significant damage to the brain. One of the most severe impacts of regular, heavy drinking is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, or “wet brain.” Wet brain is a deficiency in nutrients, caused by long-term heavy drinking. When the brain lacks necessary nutrients, like thiamine, it can suffer severe damage. Thus, the effects of the wet brain cause confusion, mood changes, lack of coordination, coma, psychosis, and, eventually, death. This condition is permanent.
