What effect does alcohol have on the liver?
Your liver is your body’s detox center, and it works full-time to rid your body of the poisons you ingest. Alcohol is one of the liver’s biggest foes, constantly attacking its cells. If you drink moderately, your liver has enough time to repair itself. However, persistently high alcohol levels in the blood will cause your liver cells to die, forming scar tissue. This is called cirrhosis, and it can be lethal.
