Health effects of alcohol consumptionFurther reading
The consumption of alcohol is often described as moderate or excessive alcohol drinking. Moderate drinking is generally limited to two or fewer drinks in men and one drink daily in women. In addition to long-term health risks, excessive alcohol use can also lead to immediate effects, including injuries such as motor vehicle crashes, falls, drownings, burns, violence, alcohol poisoning, risky sexual behaviors, as well as miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women.
One study reported that a moderate-to-severe reduction in spermatogenesis occurred in 14% of men who died suddenly and regularly consumed alcohol, as compared to only nine of the 137 men who died from severe or very severe fatty liver disease. Thus, testicular spermatogenesis may be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol than liver tissue.
Impacts on Women’s reproductive health There is a limited quantity of studies that have assessed the association between alcohol use and impacts on the female reproductive system, particularly as compared to the studies that have been conducted in men. Nevertheless, there is some evidence suggesting that both drug and alcohol use can alter a woman’s menstrual cycle and lead to amenorrhea, which is defined as the absence of a menstrual period.
