If you didn’t have enough GABA, your nerve cells would fire too often and too easily. Anxiety disorders such as panic attacks, seizure disorders, and numerous other conditions including addiction, headaches, Parkinson’s syndrome, and cognitive impairment are all related to low GABA activity. A good example to help understand this effect is caffeine. Caffeine inhibits GABA release. The less GABA, the more nerve transmissions occur. Think what too much coffee feels like: that is the sensation of glutamate without enough GABA

GABA is a neurotransmitter that is produced in the brain and helps us feel calm and relaxed. Ethanol is a substance we consume because we like SOME of the impacts it has on our mental and emotional states.

Ethanol causes significant damage to human tissue, particularly the brain and nervous system, heart, liver and pancreas. It has a social impact as well – ethanol causes real harm to almost every family in the developed world, and is responsible for measurable economic harm to the economy and to society. The global harms of ethanol include an estimated £500 Billion of costs and c.3 Million premature deaths, per year.

As awareness of these harms increases, many consumers are turning away from ethanol as their beverage of choice for social gatherings. These people have a growing interest in what choices there are beyond ethanol.
