BEWARE OF EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION DUE TO ITS EFFECTS ON YOUR THE LIVER.

   As you celebrate the holiday season, be careful with excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption is considered excessive, when the liver is not able to process the amount of alcohol consumed.
  One of the mistakes people make drinking alcohol this season, is competing with friends while drinking. Some people have higher alcohol tolerance level than others. Do not compete with your friends because they may have higher tolerance level than you do.
 Some people may develop severe headaches after drinking. The headache is normally caused by dehydration.
Alcohol dehydrates the liver, which ends up causing dehydration in other parts of the body. Taking analgesics like Tylenol in combination with alcohol for these headaches may lead to liver damage and liver failure. Avoid alcohol completely if you suffer from any form of liver disease or hepatitis.
    Whenever alcohol reaches the liver, it produces toxic enzyme called acetaldehyde, which can damage the liver cells and cause permanent scarring as well as harm to the brain and stomach lining. Refrain from daily consumption of alcohol, your liver cannot not handle it.
