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.
大家都知道酒精會(huì)導(dǎo)致皮膚干燥、脫發(fā)、頭疼，但是很少有人會(huì)考慮酒精對(duì)健康的長(zhǎng)期影響。

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營(yíng)養(yǎng)的營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)家加布里亞說(shuō)，過(guò)度飲酒不但會(huì)短期的讓胃出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題、嘴巴干，還會(huì)對(duì)大腦、肝臟都會(huì)有毀滅性的影響。

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.
加布里亞說(shuō)，肝能幫助身體排毒、處理各種化學(xué)物質(zhì)，一旦被酒精損傷，對(duì)人體會(huì)造成極大損害。

'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.
“長(zhǎng)期飲酒會(huì)對(duì)肝及其功能造成不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的損傷，還會(huì)增加肝炎和其他肝疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)?！?/div>

'Scar tissue is formed, known as cirrhosis. It is this scar tissue which can destroy the liver.'
“損傷組織一旦形成就會(huì)造成肝硬化，涉及整個(gè)肝。”

Your mind
大腦

'Long term exposure cause longer term frontal lobe damage to the brain affecting emotions, short term memory and coordination.
“長(zhǎng)期飲酒造成長(zhǎng)時(shí)間大腦額葉損傷，會(huì)影響情緒、短期記憶和協(xié)調(diào)能力?！?/div>

'The brain relies on a delicate balance of chemicals. Alcohol is a depressant, which means it can disrupt that balance, affecting our thoughts, feelings and actions – and sometimes our long-term mental health.?'
“大腦依賴化學(xué)物質(zhì)的微妙平衡，而酒精屬于抑制劑，會(huì)破壞這種平衡，影響我們思考、感覺(jué)和行動(dòng)，有時(shí)候還會(huì)影響長(zhǎng)期的精神健康。”
