Long-term effect of alcohol on health is

• A. Increases muscle mass
• B. Improved coordination
• C. Cirrhosis of the liver
• D. Improved sleep quality

Answer: (C)

Long-term alcohol use mainly harms the liver. Alcohol is processed by the liver, and with chronic heavy drinking the liver cells can become fatty, inflamed, and eventually scarred. This scarring, called cirrhosis, disrupts normal liver function and can lead to serious problems like liver failure and increased risk of liver cancer. That’s why cirrhosis is the long-term health effect for alcohol. The other options don’t fit because alcohol does not increase muscle mass; if anything it can hinder muscle growth. It also impairs coordination, not improves it, since it depresses the central nervous system. And while some people think alcohol helps them sleep, it actually disrupts sleep quality over the long term.
