Alcohol doesn't contain any type of beneficial nutrients for your body. Over a long period of time, you will see the organs become negatively affected as a result. The most predominant area where this is noticeable will be the liver and its functions since it metabolizes alcohol. Soon you will see the liver cells destroyed and it will not have the ability to regenerate these cells. It leads to progressive inflammatory injury, which moves towards cirrhosis of the liver.
According to recent studies, the most beneficial treatment for alcohol addiction in older adults may be education, as many seniors lack information on the dangers of alcohol use.
The cost of the majority of alcohol related disease in the United States is publicly funded by tax payers through government insurance policies like Medicaid.
Underage drinking is strongly associated with many health and social problems among youth including alcohol-impaired driving, physical fighting, poor school performance, sexual activity, and smoking.
