Drinking too much – on a single occasion or
over time – can take a serious toll on your
health. Here’s how alcohol can affect your
body: Brain: Alcohol interferes with the brain’s
communication pathways, and can affect the
way the brain looks and works. These
disruptions can change mood and behavior,
and make it harder to think clearly and move
with coordination. Heart: Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a
single occasion can damage the heart, causing
problems including: Cardiomyopathy – Stretching and drooping of
heart muscle Arrhythmias – Irregular heart beat Stroke High blood pressure Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease. Liver: Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and
can lead to a variety of problems and liver
inflammations including: Steatosis, or fatty liver Alcoholic hepatitis Fibrosis Cirrhosis Pancreas: Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic
substances that can eventually lead to
pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and
swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas
that prevents proper digestion. Cancer: Drinking too much alcohol can increase your
risk of developing certain cancers, including
cancers of the: Mouth Esophagus Throat Liver Breast Immune System: Drinking too much can weaken your immune
system, making your body a much easier
target for disease. Chronic drinkers are more
liable to contract diseases like pneumonia and
tuberculosis than people who do not drink too
much. Drinking a lot on a single occasion slows your body’s ability to ward off infections
– even up to 24 hours after getting drunk.
