Alcohol abuse and dependence significantly increase the risk of liver damage both in people with HIV alone and with HCV co-infection.
Individual reactions to alcohol vary widely, and are influenced by a variety of factors such as age, genetics, use of drugs, the rate of the alcohol consumption, the amount of food consumed before drinking, and an individual's physical condition in regard to their weight and fitness level.
Moderate alcohol use can cause depleted aerobic capacity and negative impact on endurance for up to 48 hours after the last drink has been consumed.
Studies on the negative health effects of alcohol abuse have consistently reported that alcohol causes a great amount of gastrointestinal irritation, particularly of the stomach and esophagus.
