Alcohol is very dangerous because it is highly addictive it can make you do things that you don't normally do. Alcohol can also make people turn dangerous and nasty which then results in innocent people getting hurt. In addition to that, a chronic alcoholic drinking more than 24 units daily (a 70 cl vodka bottle is generally 28 units). - withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous as well as unbelievably unpleasant. So the drinker generally doesn't stop at this point, leading to liver failure, brain damage, and other unpleasant body failures. Keep this up for 2 years or maybe slightly longer and the alcoholic will be dead.

In moderation alcohol has many benefits. It is when taken to excess that the alcohol becomes a problem.

Overconsumption of alcohol is very unhealthy; however there are studies that indicate dirinking a small amount of alcohol daily (such as one glass at suppertime) can be healthier than not drinking any at all. A glass of red wine a day is said to be good for you - it has antioxidants. But, as above, don't overdo the alcohol.
