Alcohol-related diseases

Alcohol-related diseases are health problems caused by excessive or long-term alcohol consumption. They can affect the liver (like fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis), the heart (increased risk of high blood pressure and heart diseases), the brain (impaired thinking, memory, and mental health issues), and other organs. Alcohol can also increase the risk of cancers, weaken the immune system, and lead to addiction. Recognizing these risks is important for making informed choices about alcohol use to maintain overall health and well-being.
