What’s alcohol?
Alcohol is a natural product that arises by fermentation of barley (gerst) or
grapes. This natural fermentation process stops when it reaches about 15%.
This is called low alcohol drinks. For example, wine and beer.
When they start a new process by heating and cooling low alcohol, the alcohol
level increases. This is called liquor. For example, beer contains 5% alcohol,
wine 12% and liquor like Vodka, Gin contains 35% alcohol.
Besides beer, wine and liquor there are many other different drinks on the
market. Among young people mix drinks are very popular and also shooters
and alcohol pops. You will know them as shots.
, What does alcohol do in your body?
Alcohol reaches your brain through our blood. When you drink alcohol, you
start to feel the effect after about 10 minutes. When you have had a proper
meal, it takes a bit longer, before the alcohol starts to work. When you drink to
much alcohol in once, you will feel a short-term effect. Such as vomiting, black-
out and a hangover.
However, when you drink too much over a longer period, it will damage your
liver. If you keep on drinking too much alcohol, your liver is damaged more
seriously. There are four stages of liver damage.

work properly. Your liver can’t digest fat cells and the starting to build up in
your liver. A fatty liver can cure when you stop drinking alcohol and eat
healthy.

fibrosis. This means you are creating scare tissue in your liver. Your liver cells
will get permendly damaged.
Stage 4: Liver cirrnosis
This is the final stage of liver damage. Your liver cells are starting to die off.
Your liver is a kind of filter and Couse of the cirrnosis it can’t do his work
properly. This is a serious problem, because now your liver can’t filter your
