Long-term
heavy drinking is very damaging to your health.
This list of potential health problems is long and
scary. In addition, heavy drinkers develop a tolerance
of alcohol that means they have to drink more and
more to get the same effect. They can also become
physically dependent on alcohol. This means they
suffer withdrawal symptoms such as trembling,
sweating, anxiety and delirium, if they stop drinking
abruptly.
