Physical Affects of Alcohol
on the Body
Eventually Alcohol
Kills...
Alcohol is nothing more than poison to your body
as you will find out as you read through this
page. There is absolutely nothing positive that
alcohol contributes to your body. Sure, most get
away with no major damage for years but the more
you drink and the longer you drink, trust me, the
liver can only take so much. I may see you one day
in an AA meeting; forced there to be on a
transplant list for a new liver. The only way they
will give you one is if you quit drinking and you
go to AA. I have seen this before.
A Few Facts
Anyway, I have posted a few facts
for you just to keep you informed of what is going
on inside you when you take that drink.

Alcohol affects all parts of the brain, which
also affects the heart rate, coordination,
speech, and destruction of brain cells
|
|
|
It has become clear over recent years that
alcohol impacts both behavior and brain function
differently in adolescents and adults.
|
|
| Alcohol may
encourage aggression by disrupting normal brain
mechanisms that normally restrain impulsive
behavior such as aggression.
|
|
|
Heavy drinking over many years may result in
serious mental disorders or permanent,
irreversible damage to the brain or peripheral
nervous system.
|
|
|
Alcohol dilutes itself in the water volume
of the body in order to travel through the
system. Those vital organs, like the brain,
that contain a lot of water and need an ample
blood supply are particularly vulnerable to the
effects of alcohol.

|
|
Consumption of alcoholic beverages is causally
related to cancers of the mouth, pharynx,
larynx, and esophagus
|
|
|
Evidence also supports a weaker but possibly
causal relation between alcoholic beverage
consumption and increased risk of cancers of the
liver and breast
