If you do get really drunk, it's best to lay off alcohol altogether for the next two days to give your body tissues time to recover. Forget the myths of coffee, more coffee and a fry-up. The only cure for a heavy session is time. If you get drunk on a regular basis, it may be worth asking your GP for help . You'll probably put on weight - if your idea of attractive is a spare tyre around your belly, then keep it up.
Alcohol is high on calories with no real food value.
Your blood pressure will also go up, increasing the chance of having a heart attack and some kinds of stroke. You'll also risk liver damage. Other risks faced by long-term, heavy drinkers are cancer , especially cancers of the mouth and throat. If you drink heavily and smoke, you're 150 times more likely to develop throat cancer than people who don't. Women also risk having problems if they want to become pregnant.
