Core Tip The glymphatic system, a critical pathway for fluid exchange and waste clearance in the brain, is linked to neurological disorders when dysfunctional. Alcohol has a biphasic effect: Low doses enhance glymphatic function, while high doses suppress it and cause cognitive decline, mirroring alcohol-related dementia. Studies explore how alcohol affects cerebrospinal fluid-interstitial fluid exchange and waste removal. Despite progress, gaps remain in understanding mechanisms and confounding factors like gender, age, and blood pressure. The significance of this review lies in deepening the understanding of the relationship between alcohol and glymphatic system disorders and offering possible targets for developing new treatments.
