Best Answer

Beer contains alcohol, when digested the body turns alcohol (ethanol) into acetaldehyde (toxic to the liver), which is oxidized into acetate. Also produced are lactate, malate, fatty acids, and ketone. This cause a problem with protein synthesis and causes fatty deposits in the liver. This leads to fatty infiltration and scarring of the liver, which can lead to alcoholic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis. So the major damage to the body is to the liver from prolonged excessive drinking. Cholesterol is the primary cause of clogging or hardening of the arteries and excess alcohol consumption has no direct effect on cholesterol levels. Triglyceride levels are generally elevated as well as liver enzymes (from liver damage), this can lead to other health problems such as pancreatitis, and liver failure.
