Once a person consumes alcohol, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/how-much-does-it-take-to-get-drunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liver begins working<\/a> to process it. It converts ethanol to the toxin acetaldehyde, which breaks down into acetate and further breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. The liver can lower your blood alcohol level by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgsu.edu\/recwell\/wellness-connection\/alcohol-education\/alcohol-metabolism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">about 0.015 per hour<\/a>, leaving the remaining amount in the bloodstream. Checking a person\u2019s blood alcohol level is a common way to measure how drunk a person is.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term, heavy drinking (defined as binge drinking for five or more days in the past month) can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4248190\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">damage the liver<\/a> and cause liver disease. The more alcohol the liver has to process, the more bloated its cells become. The resulting swelling and inflammation are known as <a href=\"\/alcohol-abuse\/related-topics\/repair-liver-alcohol-use\/\">alcoholic hepatitis<\/a> or alcoholic steatohepatitis. As heavy drinking continues, these conditions can cause cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) to develop. In a recent study by The Recovery Village, heavy drinkers were found to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/alcohol-facts-statistics\/\">2.12 times more likely<\/a> to have liver disease and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/alcohol-facts-statistics\/\">2.26 times more likely<\/a> to have cirrhosis.<\/p>\n<p>These liver diseases can eventually lead to liver failure and possible death. Not only do these conditions have severe consequences, but a poorly functioning liver also affects the rest of the body. Specifically, liver dysfunction from alcohol consumption can cause a brain disorder called <a href=\"https:\/\/emedicine.medscape.com\/article\/186101-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hepatic encephalopathy<\/a>. The disorder causes changes in basic behavior, like sleep patterns and mood, but it also has more serious effects, including personality changes, confusion, anxiety, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/cooccuring-link-alcoholism-depression\/\">depression<\/a>, and problems with physical coordination.
