What are the harmful effects of drinking alcohol on the body?

As the saying goes, "Drinking is harmful to the stomach, and smoking is harmful to the lungs." It can be seen that the degree of damage to the stomach caused by drinking is self-evident. Alcohol is irritating to the gastric mucosa, thus affecting the normal physiological functions of gastric epithelial cells and the normal digestion and absorption of food. In severe cases, gastric mucosa rupture may occur, causing gastric ulcers and gastric bleeding.

In addition, alcohol can damage the nervous system. Alcohol can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier and can paralyze and excite nerves. It can also reduce cognitive ability and learning and memory abilities. This is the reason for "drunk sex". Those who drink for a long time or are addicted to alcohol may develop symptoms such as "bad temper and unstable mood"; they are addicted to and dependent on alcohol, which is medically called "alcohol addiction syndrome".

Therefore, I hope that drinkers "don't be greedy for a good drink, and it is better to be drunk than to be drunk." There is a "temper" in everything, this is true for drinking, and so is how you behave in the world.

The above represents only my personal views.
