ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON INTERNAL ORGANS.

ALCOHOL'S EFFECT ON INTERNAL ORGANS.

The stomach is affected.

Alcohol has such a hazardous effect on the stomach that it becomes unable to create enough natural digestive fluid and also fails to absorb food that has been improperly digested. An alcoholic will always be confronted with a situation defined by nausea, emptiness, prostration, and distention. This causes a dislike for eating, as well as a desire for more alcohol. As a result, dyspepsia has developed as a persistent condition. This approach is the source of the most dangerous kind of proven indigestion.

How the liver is harmed.

The organic damage that occurs as a result of persistent alcohol usage is frequently lethal. The liver is the organ that experiences the most structural alterations as a result of drinking. The liver has the ability to store active chemicals in its cellular components in normal circumstances. We examine the liver as though it were the central repository of the foreign substance in cases of poisoning by numerous harmful agents. When it comes to alcohol, the situation is nearly identical. An alcoholic's liver is always under the effect of alcohol, and it is often saturated with it. The liver's minute membranous or capsular structure is compromised, which prevents effective dialysis and free secretion.

The dilation of its veins, the surcharge of fluid substances, and the thickening of tissue cause the liver to enlarge. This occurs as the membrane contracts and the entire organ shrinks in its cellular sections. Due to the blockage provided by the veins to the returning blood, the alcoholic's lower body becomes dropsical. The liver's structure can become clogged with fatty cells, resulting in a condition known as 'fatty liver.'

The deterioration of the kidneys.

——————————————

Excessive alcohol use also has a negative impact on the kidneys. Kidney vessels lose their flexibility and contraction power. Fatty alteration occurs in their minute structures. Blood albumin is rapidly absorbed by their membranes. As a result, the body progressively loses its power, as if it were running out of blood.

Inflammation in the lungs.

————————————

Alcohol readily relaxes the arteries of the lungs, which are the most exposed to temperature changes. They become easily crowded when exposed to the impacts of a sudden change in ambient temperature. An alcoholic is easily affected by abrupt deadly pulmonary congestion during harsh winter seasons.

The heart is weakened by alcohol.

Alcohol use has a significant impact on the heart. The membraneous structures that cover and border the heart deteriorate in quality, becoming thicker, cartilaginous, or calcareous. The valves then lose their elasticity, and what is known as valvular disease develops over time.The structure of the coats of the big blood-vessel leading from the heart undergoes similar modifications, so the vessel loses its suppleness and power to feed the heart by recoiling from its distention after the heart has filled it with blood during its stroke.

Again, degenerative changes in the heart's tissue cause the muscular framework to fail. The constituents of the muscular fiber are replaced by fatty cells or, if not, they are converted into a modified muscular texture with a significantly reduced contraction power.

Those who suffer from these organic deterioration of the primary and controlling organ of blood circulation learn about it so slowly that they don't realise it until the damage is done. They are aware of a central lack of power due to little causes such as overexertion, trouble, interrupted rest, or prolonged fasting. They experience a'sinking' sensation, but they know that a glass of wine or another stimulant will immediately alleviate the discomfort. As a result, they try to alleviate it till they learn that the therapy is ineffective. The weary, exhausted, loyal heart can't take it any more. It has run its course, and the blood-stream governor has been broken.

The stream either overflows into the tissues, gradually damming up the courses, or it completely stops at the center due to a minor shock or excess motion.
