The harm of drinking alcohol every day to the body

Wine is no stranger to everyone, and it can be seen everywhere in daily life. There are many types of wine, including white wine, red wine, beer, rice wine and so on. Many people have the habit of drinking every day. If they don’t have a few drinks every day, they feel uncomfortable. Drinking less alcohol is good for the body, but drinking it every day is definitely harmful to the body. So what are the harms of drinking every day to your body?

1. Drinking directly damages the liver, causing alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Once the liver is damaged, vision will inevitably decline, and the body's detoxification ability will also decline, resulting in a decrease in immunity and susceptibility to other diseases and tumors. More than 90% of alcohol in the body is metabolized through the liver. Its metabolites and the liver cell metabolic disorders caused by them are the main causes of alcoholic liver damage. According to research, if a normal person drinks 40-80 grams of alcohol per day on average, alcoholic liver disease will occur in 10 years. If they drink 160 grams per day on average, cirrhosis will occur in 8-10 years!

2. Drinking alcohol hurts the stomach, causes poor digestion, weakens your physical constitution, and makes you more susceptible to other diseases. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol at one time can cause uncomfortable symptoms of acute gastritis, while continuous and large amounts of alcohol intake will inevitably lead to more serious chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.

3. Drinking alcohol can damage the heart, spleen, and pancreas, and can easily cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and pancreatitis.

4. Drinking alcohol can damage the kidneys, cause prostatitis, and affect sexual function.

5. Drinking alcohol damages your nerves. People who drink frequently will become dependent on alcohol and become irritable and restless. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause atrophy of the cerebral cortex, resulting in brain dysfunction and impaired consciousness. Long-term excessive drinking will cause chronic alcohol poisoning, which manifests as personality changes, mental abnormalities, poor orientation, memory loss, etc.

6. Drinking damages your appearance. People who drink frequently look haggard and their skin ages easily.

7. Since alcohol can damage taste buds, one of the consequences of excessive drinking is taste disorder. Studies show that the incidence of oral and throat cancer in excessive drinkers is more than twice that of non-excessive drinkers.
