The frontal lobe is the part of the brain in charge of our abbility for decision making. When we consume high quantities of alcohol, we damaged that area it may lead to not be able to control our own behaviour and inhibit inadequate or injurious behavior. Our decisions became more erratic as the quantity of alcohol consumed increases.
