Answer: (D)

All of the above

Consumption of alcohol leads to accumulation of acetaldehyde in liver which causes hangover. Unpleasant physical and mental effects occur in body due to hangover.

Alcohol consumption also leads to fatty liver syndrome in which there is build-up of fat in liver. Gradually the liver hardens and dries up. The healthy cells of liver are replaced by fibrous tissue. This leads to build up of scar tissue in liver and leads to cirrhosis.

Alcoholism reduces the level of sugar in blood and cause hypoglycaemia.
