Looks nice isn't it? ● Well,it's nice to drink some alcohol in a while but if you keep it doing it for long and without taking care it will be very dangerous for you.

People who drink frequently or in large quantities can become addicted to alcohol. A person is considered to be dependent on alcohol when they have experienced three or more of the following symptoms during a year: -Difficulty controlling how much they drink, or difficulty stopping. - Physical symptoms, such as sweating, shaking, agitation and nausea when they try to reduce drinking. -A growing tolerance to alcohol -Gradual neglect of other activities. -Persistent drinking even though it is obviously causing harm.

Short-term effects It's true that a small amount of alcohol will relax you and make you feel less anxious. But alcohol is a depressant of the central nervous system. In increasing amounts it suppresses the part of your brain that controls judgement, resulting in a loss of inhibitions. It also affects your physical co-ordination, causing blurred vision, slurred speech and loss of balance. Drinking a very large amount at one time can lead to unconsciousness, coma, and even death.
