7. Infection
Alcoholism is related to serious infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis, HIV, and immunodeficiency syndrome AIDS. It mostly affects people from developing countries and those participating in unsafe sex. It makes treatment harder and the chances of recovery lower as they are destitute and won’t be able to pay for the drugs and there will be no compliance to treatment.
Alcohol also kills gut bacteria which leads to severe GIT infections that result in more severe life-threatening complications and are extremely resilient to antibiotic treatment.
