Alcohol abuse can lead to high blood pressure, damage to the heart muscle, an irregular heartbeat and put the individual at risk for stroke and heart attack.
Sodium, potassium, phosphate and magnesium (i.e., electrolytes) make up the ionic fluid in the body. Alcohol increases urine production by slowing the release of ADH (antidiuretic hormone). This makes the kidneys less permeable to water, more water flows to the bladder. This increased loss of water upsets the balance of the electrolyte concentration and negatively affects the metabolic process. This can cause dehydration in chronic alcohol consumers.
