What Happens to the Body?

Alcohol may cause increase in weight as because of its high content of sugar. It’s not only the consumption of alcohol that makes people increase weight. Late night eating is frequent as serious drinkers will frequently find that eating during the day is not possible till they have few drinks, and thus disturbing the regular or normal way of eating habit.
Skin
