How Alcohol Affects the Body A person can feel the effects of alcohol just a few minutes after taking the first drink. People who drink large quantities of alcohol also risk serious long-term effects such as permanent damage to organs and even death. Harmful Effects of Alcohol Short Term Brain Impaired judgment, reasoning, memory, concentration; slowed reaction time, decreased coordination; slurred speech; distorted vision and hearing; reduced inhibitions; alcohol poisoning, causing unconsciousness and even death. Heart Increased heart rate. Liver Processes of the liver, which filters out over 90% of the alcohol in the body, may become unbalanced. Blood Vessels Enlarged blood vessels, creating false sense of warmth. Stomach Vomiting, which can lead to choking and death. Kidneys Increased urination, which can result in dehydration, headache, and dizziness. 5
6 Harmful Effects of Alcohol Long Term Differing Effects Brain Brain cell destruction, nervous system disorders, and memory loss. Heart Irregular heartbeat, heart muscle damage.
