Effects of excesive drinking.

We all know that drinking too much alcohol is bad for us, but do we know how bad it really is?  Drinking too much be it on a single occasion or over time can seriously damage your health. Some vital organs are affected when we drink a lot. let me shed some light on some of them.
  • Brain:
    • Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, making it harder to think clearly and move with coordination.


  • Heart:
    • Cardiomyopathy – Stretching and drooping of heart muscle
    • Arrhythmias – Irregular heart beat
    • Stroke
    • High blood pressure


    LIVER 
  • Steatosis, or fatty liver 
  • Alchoholic hepatitis 


If you drink a lot, perhaps cutting it out right away will be tough. Cut down the number of glasses you drink each time, followed by the number of times you drink a week.
