What the effect of Alcohol?

Effects of drinking too much, like nausea/vomiting, binge drinking and prolonged heavy drinking over longer periods of time can affect you in many different ways.
Brain damage
Binge drinking can cause blackouts, memory loss and anxiety. Long-term drinking can result in permanent brain damage, serious mental health problems and alcohol dependence or alcoholism.
Cancers
Drinking alcohol is the second biggest risk factor for cancers of the mouth and throat (smoking being the first). People who develop cirrhosis of the liver (often caused by too much alcohol) can develop liver cancer.
Heart and circulation
Alcohol can cause high blood pressure (hypertension) increasing the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. It also weakens heart muscles, which can affect lungs, liver, brain and other body systems and can cause heart failure. Binge drinking and drinking heavily over longer periods can cause the heart to beat irregularly (arrhythmia) and has been linked to cases of sudden death.
Lungs
People who drink a lot of alcohol have more lung infections and can be more likely to get pneumonia and for their lungs to collapse. When a person vomits as a result of drinking alcohol they may choke if vomit gets sucked into their lungs.

Today I will share the bad effect of Alcohol to share with you. They are.......

Disease
Alcoholism increases your chances of many serious diseases. Alcohol directly affects your liver and opens you to many liver-related diseases, such as cirrhosis of the liver. This is a very serious disease that even causes death, if not taken care of properly. Other major diseases caused by alcoholism include throat cancer, breast cancer and various other types of cancer. It is believed that alcohol also has a negative effect on the person’s sex life causing sex-related diseases, such as impotence, especially in men.
Pregnancy Issues
Doctors strictly advise expecting mothers to stop drinking completely if they love the fetus inside them. Alcohol not only has a negative effect on the person consuming it, it also affects the unborn baby inside. If a mother is on a drinking spree, there are chances that the baby will be born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The newborn is not only weak physically but also has mental birth defects. It is highly suggested to completely stop alcohol consumption if you love yourself and your baby.
Stress
Normally people drink to stay happy and away from stress. However, it is believed that drinking alcohol actually leads to stress. Alcohol or the habit of drinking is addictive, and one gets used to it. If you get no alcohol, you will become depressed and have mood swings. This is a very negative effect of drinking alcohol that causes various issues.

Legal Problems
If you are a regular drinker, you will get into more legal problems. When one is drunk, he or she has no control over his or her actions. In such a state, people end up making mistakes and indulging in criminal activities only to regret it later. Many road accidents occur because of the driver’s drinking habit. It not only gets you in legal trouble but also causes people around you problems.
Other Problems
There are various other problems. If you are in the habit of drinking, you will not be able to concentrate on your work. Your performance will fall causing you much damage. The probability of getting into altercations or domestic abuse also increases as people will not be able to control their anger or their actions. Consumption of alcohol also tends to cause headaches. And who can neglect the economic cost? Why pay for something so devastating? Don’t even accept it for free!

   

Alcohol starts affecting your body . After one or two drinks you may start feeling more sociable,
but drink too much and basic human functions, such as walking and talking become much harder.
Some of alcohol’s effects disappear overnight – while others can stay with you a lot longer, or indeed become permanent. If you've drunk heavily the night before, you’ll almost certainly wake up with a hangover.

Alcohol can produce detectable impairments in memory after only a few drinks and, as the amount of alcohol increases, so does the degree of impairment. Large quantities of alcohol, especially when consumed quickly and on an empty stomach, can produce a blackout, or an interval of time for which the intoxicated person cannot recall key details of events, or even entire events.
People who have been drinking large amounts of alcohol for long periods of time run the risk of developing serious and persistent changes in the brain. Damage may be a result of the direct effects of alcohol on the brain or may result indirectly, from a poor general health status or from severe liver disease.

Drinking alcohol affects the body in many ways. These effects can lead to physical and mental changes that can put alcohol users and others at risk of injury or death. Possible dangers include falls, household accidents, and car crashes. Drinking too much alcohol affects many parts of the body. It can be especially harmful to the liver, the organ that metabolizes (breaks down) alcohol and other harmful substances. People who drink heavily for a long time can develop diseases such as liver inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis) or severe liver scarring (cirrhosis). Alcohol-related liver disease can cause death. Drinking alcohol can affect the heart in good and bad ways. On one hand, studies have shown that moderate drinking up to two drinks a day for men and one drink for women can lower the chances of developing heart disease. On the other hand, heavy drinking either all at once or over time can damage the heart. Long-term alcohol use can also result in high blood pressure, which increases a person's risk of heart disease. However, blood pressure can go back to normal within a few months after drinking stops if there is not a lot of damage to the heart.

We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and far–reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple “slips” in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care. And even moderate drinking leads to short–term impairment, as shown by extensive research on the impact of drinking on driving.
