Short and long term effects of alcohol
studies. Despite the small number of benefits of alcohol they are still greatly overweighed by
the large amount of negative effects on health. For example increased risk of liver diseases,
cancer and pancreatitis. Nevertheless conversely moderate intake of alcohol may have some
benefitial effects on gastritis. For instance chronic excess alcohol intake, can lead to a wide
range of neuropsychiatric impairment, coronary heart disease and malignant neoplasms.
Furthermore psychiatric disorders which are associated with alcoholism include major
depression, schizophrenia, suicide.
Contrary to popular belief published studies have shown correlation between moderate
alcohol use and health that may instead have been due to the beneficial effects of socialization
that is often accompanied by alcohol consumption.
In conclusion despite of benefits, chronic alcohol misuse has serious effects on physical and
mental health
