What does the liver do to alcohol?
|
The liver tries to break it down to CO2 and H2O but if it cannot it stores it. Too much alcohol with destroy the epithelial cells. The cells will be replaces with DFCT which is non-functional. Over time this will cause cirrhosis and the person will eventually die.
