Alcohol interferes with the brains communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and functions. These interferences can change mood, behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination. It also affects the heart. Drinking a lot for a long time or too much in a single night can cause a stroke, high blood pressure, and an irregular heartbeat. Alcohol affects the liver also. Heavy drinking can take a big toll on the liver. It can lead to fibrosis, alcoholic hepatitis, and fibrosis. The pancreas is also affected when drinking alcohol. It causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion. Drinking to much can cause cancer in the mouth, esophagus, throat, liver, and breast. Last but not least alcohol affects the immune system. Drinking too much can weaken your immune system, which can make you more likely to be able to contract a disease.
