Diffuse damage, but with certain modes of alcohol consumption (wine and not beer) some specific structure is differentially destroyed.

The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement and is particularly vulnerable to damage from chronic alcohol consumption. This area of the brain helps with balance, coordination, and fine motor skills, so damage can lead to issues with movement and coordination.
No it is not. Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by heavy alcohol consumption and chronic hepatitis C.
It improves blood profile and reduces the symptoms associated with the disorder.
Yes, alcohol consumption can affect certain components of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) such as liver enzymes (AST and ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Chronic alcohol consumption can elevate these liver enzyme levels in the blood. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about your alcohol consumption before undergoing bloodwork to ensure proper interpretation of the results.
It is used frequently to help people overcome drug, tobacco, and alcohol addictions, and is used to treat chronic health conditions and diseases.
The liver is responsible for breaking down alcohol in the body. It metabolizes alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is further broken down into acetate and eventually eliminated from the body. Chronic alcohol consumption can damage the liver over time.
Yes, chronic alcohol use can lead to encephalomalacia, which is the softening or loss of brain tissue. Prolonged alcohol consumption can cause nutritional deficiencies, such as thiamine deficiency, leading to conditions like Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which involves brain damage. Additionally, alcohol can induce neuroinflammation and direct neurotoxicity, contributing to the degeneration of brain tissue and potentially resulting in encephalomalacia.
Addiction to the consumption of alcohol
Your diet is affected by what you eat or do not eat. The nutrition that you obtain from it is greatly reduced by the consumption of alcohol, which affects the ability of the body to absorb and utilize vitamins and minerals.This is such a factor that chronic alcoholics also suffer from chronic malnutrition, as it is impossible for them to get the necessary nutrients out of their diet, even if they take supplemental vitamins and minerals.
