How Drinking too Much Alcohol Hurt You



Wanna know how drinking too much alcohol hurt you?

1. Dehydration
Alcohol depresses the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which helps keep you hydrated.

2. Stomach Irritation
Alcohol causes stomach cells to produce excessive amounts of gastric acid, which can irritate the stomach

3. Pancrease Inflammation
Heavy alcohol use is the most common cause of pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas and a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

4. Liver damage
Drinking excessively causes the liver to accumulate fat (fatty liver) and become inflamed (hepatitis). It also cause liver failure

5. Brain damage
In high doses, alcohol kills brain cells, leading to brain damage that may manifest itself as permanent memory loss.
