The Health Effects of Alcohol Abuse
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

It is essential that women understand the effects of alcohol abuse on their health, particularly if they are pregnant. Women who drink regularly while pregnant run the risk of leaving their children with potentially debilitating medical conditions. The worst of these is fetal alcohol syndrome which is a disorder that does many things to the unborn baby. It affects both their mental and physical self. It causes the child to have an irregular appearance, to grow differently, to have learning difficulties that include attention span, hearing and vision problems and will impact on them for their entire lives.

A mother who excessively drinks alcohol gives their unborn infant a lifetime of learning disabilities and medical issues to deal with. There is no cure for fetal alcohol syndrome; it is there for the duration. Therefore women who are going to get pregnant should think twice before abusing alcohol during their pregnancy. Even a small amount of alcohol can be dangerous.
For anyone who abuses alcohol there are many other potential medical side effects that can cause health problems. These can include cirrhosis of the liver, cardiovascular conditions, alcoholic dementia, a higher risk of developing a variety of cancers, impotence, pancreatitis, and death. It is a known fact that three and a half percent of all cancers are caused by alcohol related issues.

Those who drink excessive amount of alcohol are more likely to suffer from stomach inflammation, also referred to as gastritis. It also causes both types of pancreatitis, acute and chronic, which is an inflammation of the pancreas and is very painful. Alcohol abuse can further be the cause of peptic ulcers, anemia, miscarriages and dementia.

Based on all the health issues that drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can cause the facts speak clearly that if a person abuses alcohol they are leaving themselves wide open for many health issues that they could otherwise avoid. If you know someone who drinks too much tell them the health effects of alcohol abuse and maybe you will be able to stop them from destroying their health.
