How does alcohol affect a person? Alcohol affects every organ in the body. It is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes; however, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the excess alcohol to circulate throughout the body. The intensity of the effect of alcohol on the body is directly related to the amount consumed.
Treatment of diabetes by tight control of blood glucose levels is difficult in alcoholics, and both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are problems among those who drink.
About one-half of all fatal traffic crashes among those aged 18 to 24 involve alcohol.
An estimated 1.5 million of the estimated 2.3 million prison inmates meet the medical criteria for alcohol or drug abuse or addiction.
