Alcohol consumption varies from person to person; still,
there are people who do know not their limit or the
effects on their health.
Here are 10 facts you need to know about alcohol
consumption
According to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, “safe” drinking for
women is limited to 1 drink per day and 2 drinks per day for
men.
There are no significant differences between someone who
drinks ‘safely’ and someone who never drinks. In some
cases, there’s strong evidence to suggest that moderate wine
consumption could actually benefit the heart.
People tend to handle and control the amount of alcohol
consumption differently. When you stay within the healthy
drinking limits, you are at a low risk for alcohol-related
health problems down the line.
Heavy drinking is more pronounced among young people
who tend to go on competitive binges. Young people are
advised not to go beyond five drinks for men and four for
women within two hours.
Alcohol slows down the pace of the neurotransmitters in
your brain that are critical for proper body responses and
even moods.
Heavy drinking increases the incidence of sexual assault,
violence and self-harm.
Drinking too much alcohol can also increase your risk for
certain cancers like mouth and breast. Regular heavy
drinking also increases the risk for some alcohol
dependence.
Regular binge drinking can damage the frontal cortex and
areas of the brain involved in executive functions and
decision making.
Long term drinking can also hurt your heart muscles making
them unable to contract properly. It can also harm liver,
pancreas and immune system function. Heavy drinking can
prevent the protective white blood cells in your body to
attack bacterial invaders like they’re supposed to.
Abstaining from alcohol over several months to a year may
allow structural brain changes to partially correct.
Abstinence also can help reverse negative effects on thinking
skills, including problem solving, memory, and attention..
