∙ 14y agoWhat an awful lot of people do not take into account is the related issues of alcohol abuse. As if Liver Failure, Brain Damage or death from Alcohol Poisoning are not enough you may wish to consider:- lung cancer, emphysema,bronchitis, cardio-vascular disease. Alcoholics are high on the list of chronic smokers. Malnutrition, Diabetes,muscle wasting, low calcium causing brittle bones. ALcoholics neglect their diets.
