Answer 2

Alcohol effects the lungs by a deficiency of the antioxidant glutathoine in the lungs. When this antioxidant is lowered you are more likely of having your lungs collapse or getting a disease in the lungs.

Answer 3

I have never heard of that. I've done my fair share of drinking and have had family members who were alcoholics and never heard of it. I'm going to say no you can't. Unless you develope a disease my uncle had years later where his body filled up with fluid and died soon after.

Actually, research published in 2006 proves the contrary: Fluid does actually build up as a result of continued alcohol consumption... usually daily ingestion of Alcoholic Beverages over a period exceeding one week's time can cause a condition now known as "alcoholic lung".Here's the link to the article published in Medial News Today on November 8, 2006 which contains a great deal of technical information on the subject research and treatment: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/55970.phpHere's an excerpt of that article outlining what's basically going on in the lungs:"The Emory research team has found that alcohol disrupts claudins, a family of proteins that helps maintain a tight air-fluid barrier. This barrier allows air into the lung, while keeping blood and other potentially smothering fluids out."

Answer 4

The effects of the alcohol lead to a severe deficiency of the antioxidant glutathione in the lungs, bringing about the heightened risk of being infected by serious lung diseases.
