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.
Another one of alcohol's agreeable effects is body relaxation, possibly caused by neurons transmitting electrical signals in an alpha waves-pattern; such waves are observed (with the aid of EEGs) when the body is relaxed. Short-term effects of alcohol include the risk of injuries, violence and fetal damage. Alcohol has also been linked with lowered inhibitions, though it is unclear to what degree this is chemical versus psychological as studies with placebos can often duplicate the social effects of alcohol at low to moderate doses.
