Can alcohol cause blood disorders?

Solution

Blood disorders:

  1. Alcohol has toxic and psychoactive characteristics. It is produced from the fermentation process.
  2. Chronic alcohol consumption can cause many hematologic abnormalities.
  3. Alcohol consumption for a long time can suppress the production of all blood cells and cause hematologic complications.
  4. Structurally abnormal blood cell precursors form and cannot mature into functional cells.
  5. If someone consumes alcohol for a long time defective erythrocytes will be produced and also can be broken prematurely, the consequence will be chronic anemia.
  6. So, chronic alcohol intake can obviously cause blood disorders.
