Question

Alcoholic people may suffer from liver disorders. Do you agree? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

1. Liver disorder in alcoholic people may occur after years of heavy drinking.
2. Most of the alcohol in the body is broken down in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase, which transforms ethanol into a toxic compound called acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO).
3. Over consumption of alcohol leads to cirrhosis (distorted or scarred liver) and eventually to liver failure. Therefore, alcoholic people may suffer from liver disorder.
