Ditch the Heavy Drinking

By: Dennelyne Grace F. Soriano

Alcohol became our best buddies whenever we are stressed, depressed, and even when we want to celebrate something.  A glass a day may do little damage to your overall health. But if the habit grows or if you find yourself having a hard time stopping after just one glass, it can get worse and lead to very serious consequences.

Here are the effects of drinking too much alcohol on your body:

shrinking brain

blackouts

dependence

liver damage

pancreatitis

fatigue

frequent diarrhea

infertility

sexual dysfuntion

malnutrition

diabetes complications

numbness

behavior changes

hallucinations

cancer

lung infections

heart damage

stomach distress

birth defects

thinning bones

changes in coordination

muscle cramps

slurred speech

The recommended amount of alcohol is 2 units for men and 1 unit for women per day. Those who consume above the recommend level are at risk of nutritional and other problems.

If you want to enjoy a drink, try to stay within recommended limits.
