Digestive Issues

In addition to ulcers and damage to the pancreas, inflammation of the stomach lining can occur from drinking alcohol.

Liver Disease

Drinking alcohol can lead to increased fat in the liver and to inflammation of the liver. In some cases, it can lead to liver tissue destruction and scarring, known as cirrhosis.

Greater Risk for Cancer

There is a link between high alcohol usage and cancer, such as mouth, liver, throat, colon, breast, and esophagus cancer.

Age: Beginning to consume alcohol at an early age has been linked to alcoholism.

Drinking habits: This includes occasional binge drinking and heavy drinking.

Family influence: Having family members who drink can play a major part in the development of an alcohol addiction. 

Media presence: The way alcohol consumption is portrayed in media can influence alcohol intake.

Social pressure/environment: Being surrounded by individuals who consume alcohol can be a factor in someone's alcohol addiction. Another factor of alcohol addiction is being in an environment where alcohol is accessible.
