  some poisons affect the nerves

  Many poisons affect the nerves directly, i.e. the transport of the electric there. The first impact is that the brain (and the spinal cord of course) does not receive the sensoric info properly anymore. And then the body does not follow the brain’s commands anymore.

    Is it accurate to call alcohol a poison?

    I don’t drink and I can be even more insufferable to my drinking friends with that information.

    So once the signals get mixed up, the dizziness sets in?

      Sort of. I would even say, the perception of broken signals is the dizzyness.

      It’s like your brain is trying to control your legs but the server is overloaded and the lag is terrible.
