What effects does alcohol on the body?

Answer 1

It is well documented that excess alcohol consumption over an extended period of time can lead to alcoholism and even cause death.

Alcohol drinking can also slow your fat loss and weight loss efforts:

1. When you take a drink of alcohol, your body converts a small amount of it into fat and the rest is converted (by the liver) into a substance called acetate.

This acetate is then quickly released into the bloodstream and used as the body's main source of energy. So, your body is using the acetate as energy instead of the stored fat in your body. The more you drink, the more fat your body will store.

Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that fat metabolism can be reduced by as much as 73% after only two drinks of vodka and lemonade in a one hour time period. You can see how excess alcohol consumption can contribute to a "beer belly." So, this is just one more reason to drink alcohol in moderation.

2. Alcohol consumption can increase your appetite. Researchers from Denmark found that a group of men ate more when they were served beer or wine and they ate less when served a soft drink.

3. Too much alcohol consumption can decrease your testosterone production. Decreased testosterone levels has a negative effect on muscle building.
