10 Causes of Stuttering
Cause #6: Alcohol
Many of us like a drink to help us wind down from time to time. It can be a lot of fun and, provided it is used in moderation, it can also be quite harmless. Despite often making us feel full of energy, alcohol is actually a depressant. It actually slows down our nervous system and brain, which is one reason why we can make some unusual decisions when using the drug.
This also means that our coordination will begin to suffer and we begin to lose our control over other parts of the body. This will, in turn, affect our ability to speak. When drunk, we will often have slurred speech, and we can also develop a stutter.
