Alcohol abuse can lead to hypertension, stroke, peptic ulcers, cirrhosis, bone marrow toxicity, pancreatitis, and multiple cancers. Patients are usually aware of the risks, just as with smoking, and continue to consume alcohol until they hit rock bottom. Rock bottom is different for every individual.
