THINGS ALCOHOL CAN DO TO YOU THAT WATER CAN SAVE YOU FROM

Hey guys have you ever wondered why you get thirsty for water after drinking alcohol, but never get thirsty of alcohol after drinking water? Here are some fact that will blow your mind about your alcohol intake and how it affects your vital organs that water would have protected making you consider if you should take less alcohol and more water.

The liver is an organ which helps break down and remove harmful substances from your body, including alcohol. Long-term alcohol use interferes with this process. It also increases your risk for chronic liver inflammation and liver disease. The scarring caused by this inflammation is known as cirrhosis. The formation of scar tissue destroys the liver. As the liver becomes increasingly damaged, it has a harder time removing toxic substances from your body.(1)https://www.healthline.com/health/alcohol/effects-on-body#1
On the other hand water helps the liver removes toxic substance from the body easily reducing your chance of having Liver failure.

Alcohol can affect your heart and lungs. People who are chronic drinkers of alcohol have a higher risk of heart-related issues than people who do not drink. Women who drink are more likely to develop heart disease than men who drink. Circulatory system complications include: high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, difficulty pumping blood through the body, stroke, heart attack, heart disease heart failure.

You may think drinking alcohol can lower your inhibitions and help you have more fun in bed. But the reality is quite different. Men who drink too much are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction. Heavy drinking can also prevent sex hormone production and lower your libido. Women who drink too much may stop menstruating. That puts them at a greater risk for infertility. Women who drink heavily during pregnancy have a higher risk of premature delivery, miscarriage, or stillbirth.(2)https://www.healthline.com/health/alcohol/effects-on-body#1

Water Helps Your Kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine, explains Guest. "Your kidneys do an amazing job of cleansing and ridding your body of toxins as long as your intake of fluids is adequate," he says.
When you're getting enough fluids, urine flows freely, is light in color and free of odor. When your body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid for bodily functions.(3)https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water
