Alcohol has been discovered long time ago. No one knows the exact date of when it has been discovered but everyone knows when you have too much of it, your system gets high!
Drinking Wine, Beer, Hard Liquor, Cocktails or Shots have been a common leisure for people ranging from Teenagers to Senior Citizen; but many don't know what is the long term effect or aftereffect of excessive intake of this liquid substance that makes you forget who you are for the night.
Let's cover the basic of alcohol shall we? Why do alcohol causes people to get tipsy and loose control? Alcohol does not need to be digested by the stomach but directly enter the bloodstream of the human body. That's why you get red.

Different group of peoples breaks down the chemistry of alcohol at a different rate/time; gender, age, weight and even the type of drinks. Despite rate of the human body breaks down alcohol, the one common thing is the organs are working VERY hard to do so.
The 3 main organs that helps release the alcohol from your bloodstream are your Liver, Kidneys and Lungs. That's why when you blow into the breathalyzer, police can catch you drinking!
Well, the paragraph above is the main point I want to say. These 3 organ works very hard to help you discard the alcohol out from your body and ANYTHING in this entire world that works too hard will eventually break down and even spoil. Just put your PC on for 365 days and you will notice things will begin to break down; same as the body.
I urge you peoples, drinking once awhile is ok. Getting drunk and losing control once in a blue moon is ok but PLEASE DON'T DRINK EVERY DAY & NIGHT!
In 2006, 3.4 million or 14.9% Malaysians are diabetics. In year 2000, it has been estimated a stagering 171 million and its prediction of 2030 is 366 million. Being diabetic ain't fun. Trust me, I know. So please my fellow readers, control yourself; Drink under the limit and control. Don't make it a habit to drink. Be a social drinker or "once-in-a-blue-moon" drunker. When any one of your organ fails, you will regret your whole life just for not controlling yourself for that few nights of leisure.
The are the number of thing that can happen to you:
