Bedtime alcohol consumption among older persons may lead to unsteadiness if walking is attempted at night, increasing the risk of falls and injuries.
Alcohol is made as plant sugars in fruits come into contact with a fungus called yeast and they begin to ferment; as they rot, they will excrete a toxic substance called ethanol or ethyl alcohol--or simply alcohol. In the fermentation process, the yeast continues to feed on the plant sugars, thus the alcohol concentration levels rise; once these levels get closer to 14 percent, the yeast dies, quite literally, of alcohol poisoning.
According to research by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), even a very small amount of liquor can negatively affect an infant's development and cause low birth weight.
Alcohol also may interfere with normal sperm structure and movement by blocking the metabolism of vitamin A, which is essential for sperm development.
