How Alcoholism Affects Your Body
Scientific evidence indicates moderate drinking of one to two drinks a day may be
beneficial to your cardiovascular system. All the positive effects are completely eroded
with heavy and uncontrollable drinking; which creates total turmoil and disruption of the
normal, essential biological activities of your body.
Alcoholism develops gradually over your lifetime. There are different categories of
alcoholics, some drink occasionally but binge heavily while others drink regularly and
habitually – chronic drinkers.
Drinking can become an integral part of your life over a period and you get to the
dangerous stage where you cannot live without drinking. You tell yourself that drinking
is the only solution to all your problems.
But all drinking, even a moderate intake has some impact on your physical and mental
condition.
Complications develop gradually as you start to drink more and this will create adverse
situations which can lead to serious, even fatal consequences, depending on your
general health.
Effects of Alcoholism
Effects of alcoholism can be short-term or long-term.
Short-term Effects
Alcohol produces a feeling of depression and numbs physical and emotional pain.
Alcohol enters the blood directly and easily percolates its way to your brain, producing
equal alcohol levels in your brain and blood.
Short-term effects of alcohol can include -
- Hazy and blurred vision coupled with an inadequate sense of hearing.
- Impaired sense of balance, leading to shaky steps and general difficulty in walking.
- Improper coordination of different parts of your body leading to physical injuries
and bruises.
- Lack of normal judgmental abilities.
- Change in your emotions, reactions and perceptions.
- Hangovers.
If you consume a large amount of alcohol at a single session, your heartbeat and
breathing levels slow down considerably. You may vomit with a substantial amount of
vomit entering your lungs causing choking.
It could lead to pneumonia, coma, and possibly a very unpleasant death.
Long-term Effects
The prolonged and frequent drinking sessions of habitual drinkers accelerate the long-
term effects of alcoholism. It can cripple virtually your whole body and cause severe
disruptions in the normal functioning of vital organs and body systems.
Effects on Your Nervous System
Alcohol slows down and erodes the effectiveness of your natural nerve reflexes which
causes inefficient judgment because of a loss of coordination between nerves and brain.
Your central nervous system suffers a breakdown.
You lose your natural, socially approved inhibitions. You may indulge in unfair and illegal
activities like thieving or risky behaviors like unprotected sex. This exposes you to
major diseases like HIV/AIDS, unwanted pregnancies or other problems such as
sexually transmitted diseases.
You will probably also have distortion of vision and hearing, frequent extended
blackouts with memory lapses. You lose your basic sense of existence which is equal to
being insane.
You are prone to alcoholic neuropathy with brain degeneration, and suffer from
depression, insomnia and can easily develop suicidal tendencies.
The numbness of nerves which is common at this stage is due to improper nutritional
levels and is likely to lead to major diseases like Wernicke’s and Korsakoff's syndromes.
Liver
Your liver is vital for your general health. It produces digestive juice for your
gastrointestinal system. The regular presence of alcohol in your liver causes many
unsafe chemical reactions in your liver which enlarges and develops dangerous fatty
deposits. Inflammation of your liver will often cause hepatitis.
Damage to liver cells disrupts or stops their functioning and causes liver cirrhosis which
causes death.
Gastro-intestinal System
The prolonged presence of excessive alcohol in your body loosens your stomach
muscles, which then cannot stop the backward flow of stomach acid.
This acid strongly affects the esophageal tissues causing pain, bleeding, and lack of
appetite. The dilated esophageal blood vessels are likely to hemorrhage and could burst,
causing death.
The alcohol in the stomach can stop absorption of important nutrients, causing
malnutrition and diarrhea. Pancreatic disorder is another offshoot of alcoholism.
Blood
The prolonged presence of excessive alcohol in your blood increases the size of red
blood cells and seriously reduces your count of protective white blood cells. Your
immune system suffers and you are at constant risk of numerous infections.
This is the reason for high incidences of cancer among alcoholics.
Also, improper blood clotting causes incessant bleeding.
Reproductive System
Excessive drinking has serious impact on both male and female reproductive organs and
their fertility. It reduces the size of ovaries and testicles, causing decreased production
of eggs and sperm and other sexual dysfunction.
Babies of alcoholic mothers suffer fetal alcohol syndrome which causes fetal
abnormalities, mental retardation and physical defects.
Heart and Circulatory System
High levels of alcohol in the blood increases your blood pressure to alarming levels
leading to hemorrhage. It also weakens your heart muscles, enlarges your heart and
causes abnormal heartbeats.
Increased blood clotting leads to heart attacks, strokes and other coronary diseases. It
cripples your circulatory system and, at that advanced stage, death is inevitable.
Alcoholism is cancerous by itself and causes cancer of various body organs.
Alcoholism could cause problems for you even if you do not drink. Alcoholic family
members and friends could become violent or cause serious accidents or other
dangerous episodes.

Dear Reader,
As you read this letter, you will see that there is no "hype." There is much that could
be written about alcohol abuse that would rank amongst the top level "hard sell"
verbiage. Much of that could be written as humor.
However, alcoholism is not a laughing matter and our discussion here deserves serious
attention.
We see and hear the statistics on television all the time. More and more people are
"self medicating" with illegal drugs. Adults, teenagers, young and old alike - no one
is immune. With all the choices out there the number one drug of choice is still alcohol.
Alcoholism is spiraling out of control here in the US and abroad. Perhaps you can
recall images of the "town drunk" in the old western movies. He was usually portrayed
as a bumbling, likable and hearty sort of fellow who made you laugh.
Well, no one is laughing anymore.
The chances are very high that you have a friend or family member who is abusing
alcohol. Most people who abuse alcohol are in a constant state of denial. They don't
believe that alcohol is a problem for them, therefore they do not seek treatment.
Ignoring the problem only exacerbates the situation. Sometimes the only course of
action is intervention, usually by loved ones. That's why it is so important to be
informed and know what to look for in your own sphere of influence.
Okay, just what can I do about my loved one and alcohol abuse?
Learning about alcohol abuse has never been easier. "Take Control of Alcohol" is just
what you need to educate yourself about alcohol. It is written in language that is simple
and easy to understand.
Before you can help someone to recovery, you need to understand exactly what alcohol
abuse is, where it comes from and why the afflicted party has it. Learning this
information is the first step in being able to lead your loved one along that road to
recovery.
Did you know that:
40% of alcoholics in the US are women?
High alcohol content in the body reduces immune system ability to fight
off diseases?
Alcoholism is cancerous by itself and causes cancer of various body organs?
Women encounter higher health risks due to alcoholism than men?
Beer does not have a lower intoxication effect than wine or spirits?
Everyone is at risk for alcoholism. It touches men, women, teens and the elderly.
Without help it is very difficult to stop drinking. The biggest problem is denial.
Many people will look at a list of symptoms, shrug their shoulders and tell themselves,
"Well, that's not me. . .I don't have a drink until after 5:00 p.m.).
Sound familiar? If you suspect that a family member or friend is addicted to alcohol,
you need to educate yourself. The best way to do that is to get your own copy of
"Take Control of Alcohol" and start learning right now.
