People who drink heavy amounts of alcohol often die due to [C] Cirrhosis. Prolonged alcohol consumption damages the liver, leading to cirrhosis, where scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, impeding liver function and causing complications such as portal hypertension and liver failure. While alcohol abuse can increase the risk of certain cancers, such as liver cancer [B], and cardiovascular issues, including cardiac arrest [D], cirrhosis remains one of the most significant health risks associated with heavy alcohol intake. Effective interventions to reduce alcohol consumption are crucial in preventing the development and progression of cirrhosis and related complications.
