These are just some of the main symptoms to expect in someone who is an alcoholic. The ultimate conclusion of these symptoms is a very nasty death.
Brain: shrinkage, causing general motor and sensory impairment; anxiety; depression; neuroses; phobias; hallucinations; dementia.
Oesophagus: oesophageal varices occur as a result of increased pressure of the portal veins, causing localised varicose veins in the throat. These may rupture, resulting in an often fatal haemorrhage.
Liver: becomes enlarged with fat deposits and may be inflamed causing alcoholic hepatitis.
Reproductive area: in men, impotence; shrinkage of the testicles, loss of male sexual characteristics and possible feminisation in the development of breast tissue.
Mouth: increase risk of cancer of the mouth, throat and oesophagus.
Lungs: Reduced resistence to lung infections, colds, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Heart: Fat is deposited in the heart muscle, impairing its function and precipitating heart attack.
Stomach: chronic gastritis; ulcers; vomiting; diarhoea; malnutrition; gastric bleeding.
Intestines: inflammation of the intestine wall inhibits absorption of vitamins and iron causing vitamin deficiency and anaemia; varices (varicose veins) which can rupture causing fatal haemorrhage. Lack of bowel control.
Hands: Tremulous hands; tingling numbness; loss of sensation in the fingers.
Toes: Numbness and tingling in the toes.
