What in the body does not absorb alcohol?
Alcohol can effect the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and immune
system. Alcohol interferes with the brain's communication pathways,
and can affect the way the brain looks and works. Drinking a lot
over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the
heart. Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a
variety of problems and liver inflammations. 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. Drinking
too much can weaken your immune system, making your body a much
easier target for disease.
