Alcohol and Your Health
How Alcohol Affects Your Respiratory System
Alcohol affects the respiratory system in many ways such as slower breathing and sleep apnea in many individuals. These can be considered as shorter term effects, but over time, many individuals can potentially experience more long term effects such as those experienced as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain due to sleep apnea related issues. Heavy drinkers, over time, are also at risk of developing diseases and conditions affecting the respiratory system such as pneumonia due to a weaker immune system that can be experienced due to consumption of alcohol.

Please note:
Each person’s body is different and alcohol consumption does pose some potential risks to the digestive system such as increased risk of stomach inflammation, cirrhosis, chronic and acute pancreastitis, hypoglycemia (chronic low blood sugar) and even hepatitis for many individuals. The studies conducted are, in most cases, focused on more moderate drinkers (around 1-2 drinks per day) and does not include those who abstain from alcohol as well as those who drink heavily on a regular basis. The results found are from studies performed over periods of time decided upon by scientists and medical professionals from around the world and are not studies conducted by The Hangover Network.
