Effects of Drinking on the Body
Interactive Body, a short online tutorial provided as part of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's campaign against college drinking, shows how the stomach, heart, brain, and liver are affected by alcohol consumption. According to the institute, even moderate social drinking can result in liver damage, and heavy drinking can cause high blood pressure, damage the lining of the stomach, impair brain development in adolescents, and lead to hepatitus and cirrhosis of the liver.
