Short-term effects of alcohol can include:

• Lowered inhibitions, leading to poor social judgment.
• Trouble concentrating.
• Loss of coordination.
• Loss of critical judgement.
• Dulled perception, especially vision.
• Mood swings.
• Reduced core body temperature.
• Raised blood pressure.
• Passing out.
• Vomiting.

Long-Term Effects Of Alcohol:

• Diminished gray matter and white matter in the brain.
• Memory loss.
• Loss of attention span.

• Trouble learning.
• Alcoholic hepatitis.
• Liver fibrosis.
• Steatosis (i.e., fatty liver).
• Throat, mouth, larynx, breast, liver, colorectal, or esophageal cancer.
• High blood pressure
• Cardiomyopathy
• Stroke
• Irregular heart beat
• Drinking too much can lead to alcohol poisoning.

Signs of alcohol poisoning include:

• Confusion.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Slowed or irregular breathing.
• Cyanosis, or a blue-tinted skin.
• Pale skin.
• Low body temperature, or hypothermia.
• Unconsciousness.
• Seizures.
• It is extremely important to call 911 if you feel a person is experiencing alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning can cause permanent brain damage and even death. A person’s BAC can keep rising after they stop drinking and even after they pass out.

Effects of Alcohol on the Body :

• Chronic heavy drinking is associated with many serious health problems. Below are some of the ways alcohol may affect the body:
• Liver: One of the possible severe medical consequences of chronic alcohol abuse is liver disease. Over time, with consistent alcohol abuse, the liver may become inflamed and/or scarred. Conditions such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis may develop. A person may also develop liver cancer.
• Digestive system: Alcohol can wear down the lining of the stomach and increase the production of stomach acid, which can contribute to ulcers. Alcohol may also alter nutrient breakdown, absorption, transportation, storage, and excretion, leading to nutrient deficiencies and/or trouble fully using nutrients. For example, thiamine deficiency is common and can lead to serious neurological issues. Alcohol can also impair blood sugar control.  
• Pancreas: Alcohol prompts pancreatic production of harmful substances, which can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that impairs digestion.
• Central nervous system (CNS): Thiamine, or vitamin B1, deficiency associated with chronic heavy drinking can lead to Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome. Symptoms may include confusion, impaired coordination, learning problems, and memory difficulties. Liver disease can also harm the brain, resulting in symptoms such as sleep changes, alterations in mood, personality changes, depression, anxiety, impaired concentration, and incoordination. Too much alcohol may also hinder new brain cell growth.
• Cardiovascular (CV) health: Drinking alcohol has complicated impacts on cardiovascular health. In 2016, alcohol-related CV diseases caused an estimated 593,000 deaths globally. Consuming too much alcohol is linked to high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, trouble pumping blood through the body, blood clots, stroke, cardiomyopathy (sagging, stretched heart muscle), or heart attack. Excessive alcohol use, both directly and through malnutrition, can also lead to anemia.
• Reproductive health: Consuming too much alcohol can lead to reproductive problems, including erectile dysfunction and irregular menstruation. Both men and women may have reduced fertility with long-term, heavy drinking. Women who drink while pregnant are at increased risk for miscarriage, stillbirth, or having a child with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
• Bones:  Alcohol abuse can cause a calcium imbalance in the body, which is an important nutrient to maintain healthy bones. Consuming too much alcohol can also cause a disruption to the production of vitamin D, which is needed for calcium absorption. Lack of calcium increases the risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis increases the risk of bone fractures, which can cause serious pain and disability.
