Long-term alcohol use can have significant physical effects on the body. It dehydrates the skin, leading to a dull, dry and wrinkled complexion with dilated capillaries causing redness in the nose and face. Heavy drinking also causes bloodshot eyes and sometimes jaundice. The throat, stomach, and intestines become irritated and damaged, increasing risks of ulcers, bleeding, and cancer. The liver accumulates fat and becomes inflamed and scarred over time. Heavy drinking weakens the heart, increases blood pressure and risk of heart attacks and strokes. It also damages the lungs, brain, and reproductive system. Long-term effects include serious conditions like cirrhosis, various cancers, heart and

Physical Effects of Long-Term Alcohol Use By Kaleb Stevenson Rodolfo Bernardino
 
Effect on Skin - Dull and dry - Pasty, wrinkled - Dilates capillaries - BIG RED NOSE - Smells like alcohol Alcohol - Dehydrates the body terribly
Just like the capillaries in your skin, the blood vessels in your eyes will suffer the same fate, leading to bloodshot eyes. Sometimes, when the liver is affected, the whites of the eyes can also take on a yellowish colour too. Effect On The EYES
Throat DAMAGE Irritates and damages esophagus Induces vomiting, bleeding, pain, difficulty swallowing May eventually cause cancer
Effects on Heart Weakens the heart - Blood can’t pump properly Increased blood pressure Increased risk of heart attack and strokes
Lung FAILURE High amounts of alcohol may cause breathing to stop
Effects on the Stomach peptic ulcers inflammation bleeding lesions and cancer irritation of stomach lining irritation of stomach lining
After the stomach comes the INTESTINES Irritates lining, resulting in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sweating Inhibits the small intestine’s ability to process nutrients and vitamins
Liver Shot Causes fat accumulation around liver Leads to inflammation and destruction of cells Results in: - irreversible lesions and scarring -irreversible destruction of cells
Reproductive System Damage Long term use results in decreased function and size of the male genitalia Decreases Testosterone Increases sexual desire, but decreases sexual performance
Bad Smell On waking, that rather sour morning after smell is due to the liver struggling to process the overload of alcohol passed through it. It does this by excreting it through sweat and urine, and this leads to that all-over bad smell. Including your breath of course.
Bruises and Cuts Alcoholics and alcohol abusers are very often aggressive and violent and will also be accident prone, falling over a lot and knocking into things. I.E. THEY GET MESSED UP Censored Their bodies will bear testimony to this, often being scarred, cut or bruised a lot.
Physical Long Term Effects Apart from all the issues above, there are far more serious implications for the long term drinker. Cirrhosis or cancer of the liver Breast cancer Damage to the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) High blood pressure Obesity Infertility Strokes (cerebral haemorrhage) Heart disease Diabetes Impotence or other sexual problems Pancreatitis Ulcers Alcohol poisoning
Mental Long Term Effects But it's not just about physical symptoms either. The mental state is also affected long term Depression Suicidal tendencies Personality breakdown Inability to concentrate Affected sexual performance Dementia Hallucinations Memory loss and blackouts Mood swings
