Alcohol damages the brain, heart, liver and pancreas, and increases the risk of some cancers,
such as oral cancer and bowel cancer.
It also weaken the immune system, making people more susceptible to diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Alcohol can be deadly if consumed in excess.

Given these serious health consequences, it is not surprising that many people who are addicted to alcohol try to quit.
However, if the method is not correct, abstinence from alcohol may also have serious health consequences, including death.
Our bodies adapt to some long-term changes in order to survive.
One example is angina, the narrowing of blood vessels that carry blood to the heart .
There is evidence that people with this condition improve slowly and can adapt to reduced blood flow by adding new blood vessels.

Similarly, long-term alcoholics can experience some physiological changes.
Alcohol inhibits the production of certain types of neurotransmitters which transmits information between nerve cells.
After a while, the body adapts to sustained high levels of alcohol by producing more of these neurotransmitters
and their receptors (proteins that bind neurotransmitters to the surface of nerve cells).
When someone who has already developed an alcohol dependence suddenly stops drinking, the neurotransmitter surges far beyond what the body needs.
This surge in neurotransmitters explains many of the symptoms of sudden abstinence, including sweating, tachycardia, restlessness and anxiety.
The neural pathways of excitement and inhibition in the brain control the central nervous system and heart.
When alcohol is withdrawn, high levels of neurotransmitters can overstimulate organs, including the heart.
The situation tends to get worse as the structure of the heart changes with long-term alcohol consumption.
Muscle strength and thickness were significantly reduced in people who consumed more than 90 grams of alcohol per day for more than five years.
Sudden withdrawal of alcohol can also lead to kidney failure. Alcohol must be broken down and removed from the body as urine.
This requires water because the decomposition product must be in a solution state.
Alcohol suppresses the production of an anti-diuretic hormone, so too much alcohol can make you pee more and dehydrate.
Electrolytes in the body, such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium, are usually aqueous,
and excessive alcohol can lead to electrolyte imbalances and acid and alkali imbalances. These imbalances will eventually lead to severe kidney failure.

The risk of death from sudden abstaining is very real and very high, and is estimated to be between 6 and 25 percent, depending on the symptoms.
Sadly, the unpleasant experience of abstaining from alcohol, both physically and mentally ,has led many to fall back into heavy drinking.
If you are drinking, it is recommended that you stick to the government's guidelines and consume no more than 14 units per week,
which is equivalent to about six pints of beer or six glasses of wine (175ml).
