Effects of alcohol

Alcohol affects all areas of a person’s life. Drinking alcohol regularly can lead to a number of serious health problems, including damage to major organs like the stomach, liver, pancreas, and heart. It can also worsen existing health problems. Research has shown that drinking alcohol as a teen can lead to long-lasting learning and memory problems.

Since alcohol is a depressant, it affects a person’s emotional health. The more a person drinks, the more problems he or she is likely to have. Many people have mood changes when they drink. Those who are depressed often feel worse with alcohol in their bodies. The combination of alcohol and depression can lead someone to commit suicide. For some, alcohol can become addictive. This means that the person needs alcohol both physically and emotionally.

One of the most serious effects of alcohol is damage to the liver. If alcohol is frequently in the blood, liver cells die. When this happens, fatty liver can develop. This is a condition in which fats build up in the liver and cannot be broken down. The increased amount of fat prevents the liver from working normally and from repairing itself.
