Question

which one of the following statements is true about alcohol? chronic alcohol use can lead to korsakoffs syndrome. alcohol affects a neurotransmitter called dopamine. alcohol is a stimulant. binge drinking occurs when women drink more than men, five drinks versus four drinks, respectively.

Explanation:

• "Chronic alcohol use can lead to Korsakoff’s syndrome" is true. Korsakoff’s syndrome is associated with thiamine deficiency from chronic alcoholism.
• Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.
• Alcohol affects multiple neurotransmitters including GABA, not just dopamine (the option's phrasing is inaccurate).
• Binge drinking is 4+ drinks for women, 5+ for men in a short time, so the last option is wrong.

Answer:

Chronic alcohol use can lead to Korsakoff’s syndrome.
