[quote=Anonymous]Regarding health affects, alcohol damages every organ system in the body. Some effects are permanent, including liver scarring, kidney damage, nerve damage, and progressive heart failure. Other effects can diminish over time with incredibly healthy eating and abstinence (rare for alcoholics). The reason health effects dont appear until about age 60 is because the body has amazing overcapacity and redundancy. For example, we each have about 4x the kidney capacity we need, which is why you can donate a kidney and still be fine. But decades of high blood pressure (which drinking contributes to) and/or diabetes can chip away at this overcapacity. By the time problems become apparent, the damage is far greater and less reversible then if it had been caught 10 to 15 years earlier. Drinkers lie to their doctors too, so some important non-standard tests are not run early enough to detect early damage.[/quote]
