Alcohol can cause a loss of inhibition, leading to risk-taking. It can also contribute to self-destructive or impulsive urges such as personal neglect and violent behavior. In addition, alcohol can lead to mood changes, including feelings of anger or jealousy. Alcohol can also cause or intensify depression, which can increase the risk of suicide. Finally, alcohol can contribute to psychological disorders such as self-imposed isolation and anxiety, denial of a problem, and distorting reality.
