Research has shown that coffee can reduce the risk of developing alcohol addiction.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Ukr.media.
Scientists have found that caffeine can counteract some of the effects that alcohol has on the body. This discovery was the result of experiments on rodents.
As part of the study, the animals were divided into three groups: one consumed only alcohol, another a combination of alcohol and caffeine, and the third received drugs that block certain brain receptors. Results showed that caffeine can suppress the production of substances associated with the effects of alcohol on the brain. This makes it a potential preventative against alcohol addiction.
In addition, the scientists studied how caffeine affects dopamine, which is produced when alcohol is consumed. It is dopamine creates a feeling of reward, which contributes to the formation of addiction. However, caffeine blocks some of the receptors, reducing the intensity of this effect.
Thus, caffeine can reduce the appeal of alcohol, helping to prevent addiction.
