Effects on Early Alcohol Use

 

  • Adolescents get addicted to alcohol more often than adults do.
    This is because their bodies are still growing.
  • Alcoholism is a disease just like diabetes and it can later bring about embarrassment.
  • This disease is nothing to be ashamed of.
  • Long term effects of heavy alcohol use include loss of appetite, vitamin deficiencies, stomach ailments, skin problems, sexual impotence, liver damage, heart and nervous system damage, and memory loss.
