Beverage alcohol is a central nervous system depressant.
It slows down bodily functions such as a heart rate, pulse and respiration. Drinking large enough amounts of alcohol over a period of time can produce psychological and physical dependence, or alcoholism. Prolonged heavy drinking can lead to stomach irritation, ulcers, malnutrition, high blood pressure, lowered resistance to disease, and possible irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Alcohol can be harmful to unborn babies resulting in fetal alcohol syndrome. The safest choice is not to drink at all during pregnancy.
