Drinking wine or beer occasionally is not a matter of concern, but it’s surely going to harm the various systems of the body if the person becomes addicted to it. The effects of alcohol on different systems are-

• On the digestive and endocrine glands- When a person drinks too much alcohol it triggers complications in the digestive enzymes created by the pancreas. This may lead to serious complications if the person doesn’t give up his drinking habits.

• Damage to the liver- Liver is responsible for flushing out toxins and harmful substances from the body. When a person drinks too much alcohol, the liver is badly affected thus giving rise to chronic liver diseases and inflammation.

Prolonged drinking destroys the liver that makes it hard to remove toxins from the body. As a result, more toxins built up in the body causing further damages. Women are more vulnerable to liver damage as compared to men.

Plus, when sugar level increases, the person suffers from diabetes and its side effects. Diabetic people are therefore advised to stay away from alcohol.
