Drinking too much – on a single occasion or anytime can take a serious effect on your

health. 

The first one is

Brain / Nervous System:

Alcohol causes poor muscle coordination, slurred speech, memory issues and brain
shrinkage so in the words Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways,
and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These interruptions can change the
mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination.  

Next is MOUTH/THROAT

Any level of alcohol use is linked to an increased risk in mouth, throat and esophagus
cancer. Alcohol can dry out your mouth and throat. This dryness can cause
uncomfortable inflammation in your throat and vocal cords. You can feel in difficulty in
swallowing solids and liquids especially a feeling of food stuck in the throat that can be
led to esophageal cancer.

Third Lungs:

Alcohol abuse is a serious problem that can have toxic effects on lungs, it can greatly
increase the risk of several pulmonary conditions, including lung disease, acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia.

Next is the 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.

And then we have the 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  
Also With the Breast cancer:

based from study, they consistently found an increased risk of breast cancer in women
with increasing alcohol intake. Women who consume about 1 drink per day have a 5 to
9 percent higher chance of developing breast cancer than women who do not drink at
all.

Next is 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

Also with the Stomach

And lastly the 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.
