Alcohol Abuse Doesnât Just Mean More Cavities. Pure alcohol on its own will not damage oneâs teeth. However, most people donât drink pure alcohol. Beer, liquor and mixed drinks have high sugar content and high acidity, breaking down the enamel that protects your teeth. This can lead to cavities, long term tooth decay and increase the risk of periodontal disease. People that suffer from alcohol abuse may also forget to brush their teeth. While once in a while forgetting to brush isnât the end of the world, poor dental hygiene can have long-term repercussions.
When an alcohol metabolite called acetaldehyde builds up in your system, it causes your blood vessels to constrict, which weakens blood flow and makes you look like a guy whoâs thrown one too many plates on his barbell, explains study coauthor Jong-Sung Kim, M.D., Ph.D., of Chungnam National University.
