Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of alcohol consumed (e.g. beer, wine, liquor) does not make a significant difference in causing physical damage to the body. It is the amount and frequency of alcohol consumption that lead to physical damage. Blood alcohol levels during drinking periods, genetic vulnerability, and the frequency of alcohol use all play a role in determining if chronic alcohol use will cause physical damage.
