LIVER DISEASE..... When you drink alcohol, it is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach All blood from the stomach and intestines first goes through the liver before circulating around the whole body.

So, if you drink alcohol faster than your liver can deal with it, the level of alcohol in your bloodstream rises. Repetitive heavy drinking can lead to inflammation of the liver and if drinking continues liver failure may occur.
