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

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營養(yǎng)的營養(yǎng)學(xué)家加布里亞說，過度飲酒不但會短期的讓胃出現(xiàn)問題、嘴巴干，還會對大腦、肝臟都會有毀滅性的影響。

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，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，對人體會造成極大損害。

'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.
“長期飲酒會對肝及其功能造成不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的損傷，還會增加肝炎和其他肝疾病的風(fēng)險。”

'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造成肝硬化，涉及整個肝?！?/div>

Your mind
大腦

'Long term exposure cause longer term frontal lobe damage to the brain affecting emotions, short term memory and coordination.
“長期飲酒造成長時間大腦額葉損傷，會影響情緒、短期記憶和協(xié)調(diào)能力。”

'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，會破壞這種平衡，影響我們思考、感覺和行動，有時候還會影響長期的精神健康?！?/div>
