Here's what happens when blood cells and alcohol mix together!
You might not be surprised, but the effects of alcohol on red blood cells have been known for a long time.
Alcohol dependency and abuse of alcohol can lead to long term hematological damage and complications.
Alcoholics may have defective red blood cells that are destroyed prematurely; this may cause anemia (low blood cell count).
It can also disrupt the production and function of white blood cells, which can lead to a compromised immune system. That is to say, drinking too much alcohol may impact on your body's ability to defend against infections.
