Effects of using alcohol
This document discusses the effects of drinking alcohol on the body. It notes that alcohol is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream after drinking. Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to diseases like cirrhosis, which destroys liver cells and causes scarring of the liver, and cardiomyopathy, which causes enlargement and weakening of the heart muscle. Alcohol abuse is also linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, stroke, violence and aggression. The level of intoxication from the same amount of alcohol depends on weight, as heavier people diffuse alcohol across a larger body surface area.
