Description:
|
In terms of the body, it is the liver that is the most likely organ for long-term damage as it is responsible for breaking down the ethanol in alcohol. Frequent and excessive drinking will overload the liver and lead to the development of a fatty liver and usually to hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Another issue is skin damage - you can often tell someone who is a heavy drinker because of their red cheeks and nose due to broken capillaries. In addition, there are physical signs - the “beer belly” from the excess calories in beer, particularly.
Drinking too much too often will cause physical damage, increase the risk of getting some diseases, and make other diseases worse. Excessive drinking over time is associated with:
Hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver
Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) or pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
High blood pressure/Hypertension (which can lead to stroke)
Certain types of cancer, including mouth, oesophagus, and throat
Permanent damage to the brain
Heart failure
Neurological problems such as epilepsy and peripheral neuropathy (lack of feeling in the hands and feet)
Certain types of vitamin deficiency leading to malnutrition
