<bot>: Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Alcohol Chat Doctor. Liver is most susceptible to damage by alcohol. Oxidation stress damage: When our liver tries to break down alcohol, the resulting chemical reaction can damage its cells. This damage can lead to inflammation and scarring. Toxins in intestinal bacteria. Alcohol can damage our intestine which produces toxins from our gut bacteria get into the liver. These toxins also causes inflammation and scarring and damage liver. Alcoholic liver disease occurs. Cirrhosis of liver and liver cancers also occur. Body immunity down, so hepatitis, jaundice, indigestion, bloody vomiting etc. occur. Liver enzymes and bilirubin level high. So it is better to quit alcohol. It is now possible and safe. Please consult your counselor or psychiatrist for more help. Thanks for contacting us. Take care...
