alcohol-related health issues

Alcohol-related health issues include liver damage (such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis), increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, and potential for addiction. Excessive drinking can impair brain function, leading to memory problems and mental health issues like depression. It also increases the risk of certain cancers (mouth, throat, esophagus). Additionally, alcohol increases the likelihood of accidents and injuries due to impaired judgment and coordination. Long-term alcohol misuse can weaken the immune system and cause nutritional deficiencies. Moderation and awareness of individual health risks are essential to reduce these adverse effects.
