Major Diseases Linked to Alcohol: The dangerous trend of drinking alcohol is continuously increasing. Nowadays a large number of youth like to drink alcohol in parties. For many people, drinking alcohol has become a part of social life. Be it party, stress or loneliness, many people start resorting to alcohol every day. This habit may seem normal in the beginning, but drinking alcohol daily has dangerous effects on almost every organ of the body. According to doctors, the habit of drinking alcohol daily can be fatal. Due to this, the risk of many serious diseases can increase manifold.

The country’s well-known liver doctor SK Sarin has told in many interviews that alcohol is the biggest enemy of the liver. Liver is the most important organ of our body and works to remove toxins. Drinking alcohol daily can lead to serious conditions like fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. In cirrhosis, the liver can gradually deteriorate and stop functioning, which can prove fatal. Long-term alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of liver cancer. People who already have liver problems should not drink alcohol even by mistake.

According to cardiologists, drinking alcohol also increases the risk of heart-related diseases. Drinking alcohol daily can increase the risk of high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, cardiomyopathy and stroke. Alcohol can increase fat levels in the blood and uncontrolled blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attack. Apart from this, drinking alcohol daily can cause problems like gastritis, ulcer and pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a serious condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed and can be extremely painful and fatal. Alcohol also affects the functioning of the intestines.

The World Health Organization (WHO) report states that drinking alcohol daily can increase the risk of many types of cancer. Even if you drink alcohol in very small quantities every day, it still increases the risk of many fatal diseases including cancer. WHO has not considered even a single drop of alcohol as safe. Drinking alcohol daily can increase the risk of mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, breast and colon cancer. Drinking alcohol daily weakens immunity, due to which the body is not able to fight diseases properly. Apart from this, regular consumption of alcohol can increase depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Initially alcohol may seem to reduce stress, but in the long run it disturbs the chemical balance of the brain. Due to alcohol addiction, a person becomes physically and mentally dependent on alcohol.
