    Alcohol abuse can have serious short-term and long-term effects on health. In the short-term, excessive drinking can lead to loss of self-control, lack of inhibition, and slowed reaction times as alcohol impacts brain function. Long-term effects are even more severe and include alcohol dependence, liver cirrhosis, increased risk of accidents and infections due to a weakened immune system, brain damage, and even death in severe cases of alcoholism. The document outlines these effects and encourages understanding of how alcohol impacts the body and mind.
