Do binge-drinking brains and schizophrenic brains look similar?

Question by Answers Addict: Do binge-drinking brains and schizophrenic brains look similar?
If you were to compare the brain of a binge drinker to a normal one, then compare the brain of a schizophrenic to a normal one on a brain scan, would the two ‘abnormal’ brains look very much alike?

Could these possibly be confused for one another?

No. The binge drinker’s brain develops dead zones where alcohol literally burned off regions of the brain. A schizophrenic’s brain looks the same as any other but on an EEG, the waves will look different. There is a different brain chemistry which alters perceptions.

I dont think or know that there have been any comparisons specific to alcoholic brains……..there have been some on the ‘brain damaged ‘ brain……..and they note differences.

you may ask your question to dr amen at amenclinics.com

My opinion is that hormones play a part in each , so there may be similarities or commonalities as to the cause of the illnesses

Q&A: What song would be good for a binge-drinking slide-show?

Question by Jess: What song would be good for a binge-drinking slide-show?
For coursework at my school, I’m doing about binge drinking and raising awareness of it. I’m going to make a slide-show on binge drinking, but I need a relevant song to go with it. Does anyone know any songs that would be good? Preferably a song that is/has been popular and that doesn’t promote binge-drinking, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
