Best Answer

The alcohol goes straight into your blood stream and into your brain. Use of alcohol kills brain cells and damages your kidney. Without your kidney you can't survive. Also once the brain has alcohol in it reckless behavior slower brain activity occur. That is why people who drink while driving usually into accidents. When you are drunk your body might react by vomiting in attempt to get it out of your system. This does nothing to help get it out of your body since unlike food and other liquids it enters the blood stream. This is how alcohol is harmful.
