More Awful Side Effects of Abusing Alcohol

 

We have spoken much before about the dangerous side effects of abusing alcohol, and here are even more awful side effects of abusing alcohol:

Alcohol and the Intestines

It is not a pretty subject to talk about, but one that is important to speak about in order to protect your health. The intestines are the roadway used to rid yourself of anything that you ingest. Alcohol, as well as many drugs, makes its way into your body in the same way as food, through ingestion. This being said, the alcohol products must take the same path as the food, through the intestines.

The only problem with this is that alcohol has devastating effects on whatever tissues it comes into contact with. This is why alcoholism can cause damage to the heart, liver, brain, tongue, sinuses, and -- yes -- even the intestines.

Severe Intestinal Damage

Damage to the intestines is not a pleasant experience, and especially so with the case of alcohol damage. In serious cases, sores, lesions, and ulcers can develop, leading to chronic pain that can persist for years. The most awful part of the intestinal damage caused by alcohol is the development of chronic persistent diarrhea, which also can persist for years!

Intestinal damage is just one more reason to take the abuse of alcohol very seriously. Slow damage can often be missed, but when you know how that damage will end up, you can make a better decision to stay away from alcohol abuse.

Don't Let Your Alcohol Use Get to the Point of Serious Health Concerns!
