Effect of Alcohol

Alcohol can have both short-term and long-term effects on the body. In the short term, it can impair judgment, cause slurred speech, and increase the risk of accidents. Long-term effects can include liver disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and other health problems. Alcohol also increases the risk of developing an alcohol use disorder, which can lead to addiction. In addition, alcohol can have negative effects on relationships, work, and school performance. Alcohol consumption is a major public health concern and causes a significant number of deaths each year.
