Short-term Effects- LiverShort-term Effects- Liver
• Oxidation: Changes alcohol to water, carbon dioxide, and energy
• Can ONLY oxidize about 1 drink (serving) per hour
• No way to speed up this process• Until liver has had time to oxidize
all of the alcohol ingested, it keeps circulating through the bloodstream

Long Term Effects on the Liver
Long Term Effects on the Liver
• Fatty liver: alcohol interferes with the body’s ability to break down fats• Excess fat blocks flow of blood in liver
resulting in reduced oxygen and cell death
• Can be reversed when drinking stops
