Alcohol comes in to disrupt the natural metabolism system and functions of the brain very quickly after the drink is consumed.
Before reaches the brain, alcohol is absorbed through blood vessels located in the wall of stomach and small intestine.
Within minutes only, alcohol travels from stomach to the brain and affects the nerves.
From the total amounts of alcohol consumed, as much as 20% is processed in the stomach and the rest of it is absorbed via small intestine.
As we all have been informed, the liver should metabolize alcohol and eliminates the toxic substances from the blood.
Nevertheless, liver can only process some amount of alcohol one at a time; the un-processed liquor will be freely circulating in the bloodstream.
Its affects to the body depend greatly on the amount of the un-metabolized liquor consumed.
Over consumption of alcohol can also disrupt respiratory system.
In some cases, blood cannot absorb oxygen thus the brain does not function at all.
It can cause coma or death.
Long term effects of alcohol are very dangerous such as brain impairment and permanent liver malfunction.
Added with poor diet, alcohol can affect the entire health condition.
Most likely, visible symptoms are emotional difficulties in the form of depression and bad relationship.
Possibly, long terms effects of alcohol are likely to be:
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the most helpful guide to decide what alcohol can do to a certain drinker.
Anyway, liquor does not need to wait for long before any kind of effect is produced in the body.
Within only five minutes, alcohol starts to produce chemical reactions in the brain.
One standard amount of alcohol will lead BAC to be in its highest state after 30 to 45 minutes.
When multiple amounts are consumed within the time, BAC will only get higher faster than expected by the blood and body.
Human metabolism system can completely break down one standard amount of liquor in one hour.
The final results or affects of alcohol to the body depend greatly on:
The guidelines help reducing percentage of risk factors both short and long terms effects.
The followings are some of the most essential rules included in the guidelines:

Possibly, long terms effects of alcohol are likely to be:
- Loss of memory, hallucination, brain injury, confusion
- Loss of muscle tissue and weakness
- Cancer of liver, mouth, and throat
- Irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure
- Stomach ulcers, inflamed stomach lining
- Inflamed pancreas
- Damaged sperm, shrinking of testicles, impotence
- Gynaecological problems

The final results or affects of alcohol to the body depend greatly on:
- Health condition
- Quantity of alcohol consumed
- Type of liquor
- Body chemistry
- Diets
- Age
- Drinking experience
- Mental/psychological condition and more.
The guidelines help reducing percentage of risk factors both short and long terms effects.
The followings are some of the most essential rules included in the guidelines:
- On any day, either men or women cannot drink more than one standard amount of alcohol to reduce the risk factor of alcohol-related diseases or permanent damage in the body as the result of long term effects of alcohol.
- On any one occasion, either men or women should never take more than four standard amounts of alcohol to reduce the chance of having alcohol-related-injury as short term effects.
