LIVER DISEASE.....
When you drink alcohol, it is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach
All blood from the stomach and intestines first goes through the liver before circulating around the whole body.
So, the highest concentration of alcohol is in the blood flowing through the liver
The liver cells can metabolise only a certain amount of alcohol per hour. So, if you drink alcohol faster than your liver can deal with it, the level of alcohol in your bloodstream rises.
Repetitive heavy drinking can lead to inflammation of the liver and if drinking continues liver failure may occur.
“...he was told his liver was only functioning at 20% and he needed a transplant.”
“...years of heavy drinking had caused irreparable damage to Best's health.”
“The liver performs more than 400 functions needed to keep the body healthy” “Best had to wait eight
months for a suitable liver to be found.”
In July 2002, he underwent 10 hours of major surgery at the Cromwell Hospital, needing 40 pints of blood during the life-saving transplant operation.
15 000 people a
year die in the UK from ALCOHOL RELATED
