Consuming large quantities of alcohol over an extended period of time, especially when combined with poor nutrition, can lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver.
Children are especially sensitive and can suffer long-lasting emotional trauma when a parent or caretaker is an alcoholic or heavy drinker.
Alcoholics, do not process alcohol as effectively as non-alcoholics. The alcoholic�'s liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde at twice the normal rate. At the same time, their ability to convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid is much slower than non-alcoholics. Consequently, the higher concentrations of acetaldehyde can damage liver cells, cause inflammation and exhaust the body�'s immune system. The liver�'s ability to absorb nutrients is compromised. Unfortunately, the damage is not restricted to the liver. An abundance of acetaldehyde will eventually enter the bloodstream which can affect other organs in the body such as the heart or pancreas. It can also affect the brain. The brain, like most body organs, is vulnerable to injury from alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde can block proper brain function such as the firing of neurotransmitters which affect one�'s mood, memory, and behavior.
Once an alcoholic starts drinking, there is little they can do to manage how much alcohol they will consume at any given time.
