How Does Alcoholism Affect Your Body?
Alcoholism affects your body in many ways. Consuming large amounts of alcohol over a prolonged period of time can harm virtually every part of your body. Moderate use of alcohol can be enjoyed safely if used with caution, but a person who abuses alcohol can cause serious damage to his or her body. Even if your drinking doesn’t meet the criteria for alcohol dependence or abuse, it can still put you at risk for health problems. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, at-risk drinking for men is more than 4 drinks a day or more than 14 drinks a week; at-risk drinking for women is more than 3 drinks a day or more than 7 drinks a week.
