Alcoholism is the enemy of health. Long-term alcoholism can cause damage and risks to our liver, heart, digestive system, brain, etc. So, we need to take alcoholism seriously. Alcoholism will directly affect our health and bring troubles to our normal life.

The Spring Festival is coming soon. In this special festival, gathering with relatives and friends, and drinking a glass of "gathering wine" together is indispensable. We who usually like to have a drink may have to drink heavily in this situation. Be careful! Don’t turn the “gathering wine” into the “farewell wine”.

? 1. The harm of alcoholism to the liver Alcohol contains different concentrations of alcohol. After alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly catabolized in the liver. If the human body drinks large amounts of alcohol for a long time, it will cause damage to liver cells, lead to disorders of fatty acid catabolism in liver cells, cause fat deposition in the liver, and then form alcoholic fatty liver. If the human body drinks large amounts of alcohol for a long time, it will cause damage to the liver and bile ducts, or induce the production of autoantibodies, leading to inflammation of liver cells and bile ducts, and at the same time, it may also cause damage to the eyes.

2. The harm of alcoholism to the heart. Long-term drinking will not only damage the liver, but also increase the risk of heart disease. After people drink alcohol, alcohol and acetaldehyde will directly damage myocardial cells, eventually leading to alcoholic cardiomyopathy. In addition, long-term heavy drinking can also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, as well as a series of symptoms such as heart palpitations, palpitations, and angina pectoris.

3. Alcoholism Harms to the Digestive System

Alcoholism can cause stomach problems because alcohol has a strong irritating effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Heavy drinking can cause inflammation and even ulcers in the digestive tract, affecting the esophagus and Gastric mucosa: Alcohol has a great impact on the mucosa of the esophagus and stomach, causing mucosal congestion, swelling and erosion, leading to esophagitis, gastritis, and ulcer disease. This can cause damage to our digestive system.

4. Alcoholism can damage brain cells

Alcohol is a neurotropic substance that has neurotoxic effects and can directly kill brain cells, causing them to dissolve, disappear, and reduce. People who drink alcohol for a long time will have an accelerated rate of brain cell death and brain atrophy will become more and more serious. In addition, alcohol can increase the risk of cancer, such as liver cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and other cancers. Long-term heavy drinking can also produce neurological symptoms such as alcohol dependence and mental disorders.

In short, in our daily lives, we must strictly demand ourselves not to drink too much. Human life is very short, and there are many things waiting for us to complete. Don’t lose out on drinking, are you right?
