Why You Shouldn`t Drink Alcohol

There are multiple reasons why I think drinking is not okay. I always wonder why it isn't illegal. I mean, yes you have the responsible people, then you have the careless people. Not to mention I'm 80% sure some teens manage to get their fingers around it. To me, alcohol can be a way to commit suicide. It actually is a way. I'm not exaggerating I promise. It can seriously damage your health. If you like drinking and find this post even a little offensive I still think you should know what exactly Alcohol does to the Brain, Liver, Pancreas and Heart. 

Here is how Alcohol can affect your body when you`re drinking an excessive amount of it. I strongly encourage you to read this till the end.

Brain:

Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination. 

So basically you have no control over your brain. You`re not sure of what`s going on around you. 

Also it can damage The Heart:

Causing problems like:

  • Cardiomyopathy | Stretching and drooping of heart muscle
  • Arrhythmias | Irregular heart beat
  • Stroke
  • High blood pressure
Liver:

Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a variety of problems and liver inflammations including:

  • Steatosis, or fatty liver
  • Alcoholic hepatitis
  • Fibrosis
  • Cirrhosis

Pancreas:


Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion.

Now we have the worst of it all; Cancer.

You see, drinking too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the:

  • Esophagus
  • Mouth
  • Liver
  • Throat   
  • Breast
So this is it. This is why I think Alcohol should be illegal. If you drink please be careful. If you don`t and know someone who does, please share this post with them. You might be thinking something like ``I don`t even drink that much`` but it is possible. Know that people care about you so even if you don`t care enough for yourself, keep in mind that your friends and family love you so much and they wouldn`t want to see you getting hurt in any way shape or form. 


Thanks for taking the time to read this.
