Alcohol is part of our society. People use it to celebrate, socialize, relax, and enhance the enjoyment of
meals. Alcoholic beverages is one of the product that are present during celebrations or parties even in
everyones Houses alcoholic drinks are always present.

People generally tend to drink alcohol in order to have fun. Being drunk makes them feel happy and
“spirited,” and drinking alcohol with friends can be a fun experience. If people are nervous in social
situations, drinking helps them relax and have more fun. But alcoholic beverages may not always for
drinking it may also be use as ingredients in cooking. An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol,
commonly known as alcohol. Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines
and spirits.

Alcoholic beverages comprise a large group of beverages that contain varying amounts of alcohol
(ethanol). Alcoholic beverages produced on an industrial scale include beer, wine, and China rice wine,
and distilled spirits such as brandy, whisky, rum, gin, cognac, vodka, tequila, pisco, and China distilled
spirit.

Alcoholic beverages can cause a lot of health issues in a human bodies. Drinking too much on a single
occasion or over time can take a serious toll on your health. 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.

Dringking alcoholic beverages affects our heart causimg problems like cardiomyopathy, arythmias,
stroke, Higblood pressure and other heart diseases. Alcoholic beverages also affects our liver and
pancreas whereas comsumption of too much alcoholic beverages develop acute and chronic
inflammation of both liver and pancreas. Fatal conditions caused by alcoholic abuse include a severely
liver inflammation, acute liver failure or/and cirrhosis presented with liver cancer. It also affects our
kidney and develops kidney failures.

All in all alcoholic beverages also contains carcinogens or pro-carcinogens, including ethanol,
nitrosamines and urethane contaminants. Alcoholic beverages increase the risk of squamous cell
cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and oesophagus. Alcohol-drinking raises the risk of neoplasms,
even in the absence of smoking, but alcohol-drinking and tobacco-smoking together greatly increase the
risk.

Alcohol-drinking is also strongly associated with the risk of primary liver cancer, particularly among
smokers and among people chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. A higher risk of colorectal cancer
seems to be linearly correlated with the amount of alcohol consumed and independent of the type of
alcohol. A greater risk of breast cancer has been consistently reported. More cases of breast cancer than
of any other cancer are attributable to alcohol-drinking among filipino women. It has been suggested
that alcohol acts on hormonal factors involved in breast carcinogenesis.
According to world health organization. The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200
disease and injury conditions. Worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol.
This represents 5.3% of all deaths.

By all counts and, and proven results. It is no wonder that consuming alcoholic beverages too much may
develops different health problems on a human bodies but it doesn't meant that we need to stop
drinking alcoholic beverages, we can still drink it but it must be in a moderately and better is not to.

Moderate alcohol consumption especially red wines may provide some health benefits, such as;
Reducing your risk of developing and dying of heart disease, Possibly reducing your risk of ischemic
stroke (when the arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood
flow). But take note that it is only in a moderate. Still this claims remains debatable. There is many
claims of positive effects of alcoholic consumption but there is a bunch of studies that proves the
negative effects of an alcoholic beverages in a human bodies.
