Efeitos do consumo exagerado de álcool no corpo

Alguns efeitos recordados (sono, pele, fígado, cérebro, ...) e informação sobre o processamento do álcool pelo fígado (1 volume por hora aprox.; 1 garrafa vinho tem aprox. 10 volumes/units):

Citando:
"But here are the downsides: you end up getting drunk quicker, and it just masks the hangover, it doesn't take it away.
"It takes us an hour to metabolise one unit of alcohol," the doctor reminds us. So if you were drinking until 2am and had along the lines of a bottle and a half of wine - roughly 15 units - that will take 15 hours to completely remove itself from your system. If you start drinking again the next day, your body hasn't even finished metabolising last night's alcohol before it can start on the new influx, so you get drunk quicker.
"Your body is feeling bad for a reason. Listen to your body," says Dr O'Brien. Words of wisdom."

Resumidamente:
Os números (muito interessantes) do consumo de álcool no Reino Unido.

Citando:
"High-earning men are FIVE times more likely to consume harmful levels of alcohol each week than those with lowest income:
- 27% of men and 23% of women on high incomes drink harmful levels
- This compares to 5% of men and 12% of women who earn the least
- More people on low incomes had not drank any alcohol in the last year
- 5% of men admitting drinking over 50 units a week - more than double the recommended levels"
