High blood pressure. Along with being overweight, high blood pressure is associated with many serious health problems.
Depressed immune system. Impaired immunity makes you more likely to contract viral illnesses such as flu and infections.
Cancer. 2-4% of all cancer cases are related to alcohol. Upper digestive tract cancers are the most common, hitting the esophagus, mouth, larynx, and pharynx. Women who drink prior to menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer. Your risk of skin cancer doubles if you drink slightly more than "moderate levels." Some studies implicate alcohol in colon, stomach, pancreas and lung cancer. And let's not forget the liver...
