Yes, alcohol can cause long-term damage even with moderate consumption. Over time, even moderate drinking can increase the risk of liver disease, heart problems, and high blood pressure. It may also affect mental health, contributing to anxiety, depression, or cognitive decline. Addiction Counseling can help individuals better understand and manage their relationship with alcohol. Chronic moderate drinking can interfere with sleep and disrupt the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, leading to deficiencies. Additionally, the risk of certain cancers, including breast and liver cancer, rises with regular alcohol consumption. While occasional drinking may seem harmless, long-term effects can accumulate, potentially impacting overall health and well-being.
