Because drinking alcohol induces urination within a short period of time, the body can become dehydrated with alcohol consumption and the kidneys may not be able to properly perform the necessary functions of regulation electrolytes. Although moderate alcohol consumption may not cause permanent kidney damage, they will not function properly during the period of time that a person is drinking.
Research suggests that women who drink alcohol while pregnant are more likely to have a baby die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). This risk substantially increases if a woman binge drinks during her first trimester of pregnancy.
Alcohol abuse severely suppresses the immune system, which helps protect the body from infections. Patients addicted to alcohol are more susceptible to infections such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, bacterial infections, or HIV/AIDS.
