- Alcohol_myopia abstract "Alcohol myopia is a cognitive-physiological theory on alcohol abuse in which many of alcohol's social and stress-reducing effects, which may underlie its addictive capacity, are explained as a consequence of alcohol's narrowing of perceptual and cognitive functioning. The Alcohol Myopia Model posits that rather than disinhibit, alcohol produces a myopia effect that causes users to pay more attention to salient environmental cues and less attention to less salient cues. Therefore, alcohol's myopic effects cause intoxicated to respond almost exclusively to their immediate environment. This nearsightedness limits their ability to consider future consequences of their actions as well as regulate their reactive impulses.Alcohol's ability to alter behavior and decision making stems from its impact on synaptic transmission at GABA receptors. Alcohol's effects on the synaptic level dampen the brain's processing ability and limit attentional capacity.Overall, the Alcohol Myopia Theory proposes that intoxicated individuals will act rashly and make simple conclusions to complex matters.".
