Alcohol and the brain

It's very interesting how impactful alcohol is on the brain. I just finished Raise The Bottom, a book that discusses how alcoholism impacts the workplace . . .not just the performance of the individual, but how their behavior affects others. But, no matter which way you slice it - the impact is negative.
Anyway - if you're an organizational leader, it's important to understand how alcohol affects not just the individual's brain and performance, but the organization as a whole.
