Most people are familiar with the effects of alcohol - dry skin, brittle hair and a banging headache - but few of us give much thought to the long-term health implications.

大家都知道酒精会导致皮肤干燥、脱发、头疼，但是很少有人会考虑酒精对健康的长期影响。

According to nutritionist Gabriela Peacock of GP Nutrition, excessive drinking can not only cause short-term problems like an upset stomach and a dry mouth, it can also have a devastating impact on our brain, stomach and liver.

GP营养的营养学家加布里亚说，过度饮酒不但会短期的让胃出现问题、嘴巴干，还会对大脑、肝脏都会有毁灭性的影响。

The liver

肝

This organ helps to detoxify the body and process any chemicals, so if its being damaged by alcohol this could have detrimental effect on our bodies, says Gabriela.

加布里亚说，肝能帮助身体排毒、处理各种化学物质，一旦被酒精损伤，对人体会造成极大损害。

'Chronic alcohol use can irreversibly damage the liver and its ability to function and increases the risk of inflammation of the liver and liver disease.

“长期饮酒会对肝及其功能造成不可逆转的损伤，还会增加肝炎和其他肝疾病的风险。”

'Scar tissue is formed, known as cirrhosis. It is this scar tissue which can destroy the liver.'
