Alcohol - A Doctor's Point Of View!

Alcohol is the most common “drug” used and abused in this world.

- Dr. Sarfaraz J. Baig

Yes, it’s a drug that has the potential to be beneficial when consumed in moderate quantities and extremely detrimental when abused in large quantities over a long period of time.

And it’s a drug and not “foodstuff” since biology has not endowed the body with the capacity to digest it. In this regard, it’s a foreign body similar to what a dust particle is to the eye. And therefore, after it’s consumption, the liver especially works real hard to eliminate it as it considers it as a “toxin”.
