alcohol bad for health

Drinking alcohol imoderation is not bad for people. To the contrary, drinking in moderation is associated with better health and greater longevity than is abstaining.
However, abusing alcohol can be bad for people.

There are several health risks associated with drinking too much alcohol. These include anxiety, sexual difficulties such as impotence, slowed breathing and heartbeat, impaired judgment leading to accidents and injuries, loss of consciousness, suffocation through choking on your own vomit and potentially fatal alcohol poisoning. Drinking heavily also increases your calorie intake, and it is frequently associated with obesity. There are 125 calories in a medium-sized (175ml) glass of wine and over 500 in a bottle, the same as in a large hamburger! Alcohol irritates the stomach, so heavy drinking can cause sickness and nausea and sometimes diarrhoea. '''Alcohol also has a dehydrating effect, which is why excessive drinking can lead to a thumping headache the morning after. ''' Being hungover is not a beauty aid. It dries out your skin, and if you drink heavily you may develop rosacea, a skin disorder that starts with a tendency to blush and flush easily and can progress to facial disfigurment, a condition known as rhinophyma. Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant. You may wonder what you did the night before, feel guilty or low.

Physical Effects: Liver disease has traditionally affected drinkers in middle age, but now sufferers are getting younger. Up to one in three of the adult population is drinking enough alcohol to create a risk of developing alcohol-related liver disease....."

In excess, it can be bad for you. For example, being in charge of a vehicle whilst over the legal alcohol limit can lead to hefty fines, disqualification from driving, loss of employment, imprisonment and death.
