∙ 14y agoAlthough alcohol can affect most organs systems in the body, I would say that your liver and your brain are the two organs that are most adversely affected. Your liver regulates certain levels in the body that are vital for function, such as toxins and wastes. When the liver becomes "sick" due to alcohol consumption, liver disease may loom ahead. The brain is the control center of the body: it's what makes you who you are. It regulates all body functions via its nervous systems, including that of the liver. Alcohol consumption affects the central nervous system. When neural transmitters, those things that act as the response system to life's processes, are damaged, the result is not so good.
