A major medical consequence of alcoholism is a person's much greater risk for brain attacks (stroke).

Alcoholism can cause alcoholic cardiomyopathy and heart disease associated with high blood pressure.

* Depression of the central nervous system.

* Degeneration of brain with loss of coordination and emotional stability.

* Addiction to tranquilizers to treat emotional instability.

* Physical damage in motor-vehicle crashes.

* Increased risk of suicide and homicide.

* Increased risk of unplanned pregnancy and STDs.

* Giving birth to a baby with fetal -alcohol syndrome, stunted growth, mental retardation.

* Poor nutrition from irritated liver and GI tract.

* Loss of sex drive.

* Neglect of food intake and physical appearance.

* Sleep loss.

* Severe inflammation of the pancreas with severe abdominal pain and nausea.

* Increased incidence of cancer. (A drinker is six times more likely to get mouth and throat cancer as compared to a nondrinker.)

Here are some other ways that alcohol can affect diabetes:--

* While moderate amounts of alcohol can cause blood sugar to rise, excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar

level -- sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels.

* Beer and sweet wine contain carbohydrates and may raise blood sugar.

* Alcohol stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your blood sugar control.

* Alcohol can interfere with the positive effects of oral diabetes medicines or insulin.

* Alcohol may increase triglyceride levels.

* Alcohol may increase blood pressure.

* Alcohol can cause flushing, nausea, increased heart rate, and slurred speech.

MayoClinic.com indicates that B vitamin deficiencies directly affect nerve health and lack of these vitamins as well as vitamin E and niacin, contribute to polyneuropathy. Additionally, excessive use of alcohol can reduce vitamin absorption leading to symptoms of polyneuropathy.
