Hello There. I can understand your concern. Yes, its true and not just that, it does a lot of things in our body which when you get to know will baffle you even more. The change in genetic structure could also lead to cancer which is common in alcoholics. i would recommend you to stop alcohol and choose a better life. Best regards, Dr. Anil kumar jain.
