===About Alcohol===
: '''Alcohol''' has [[Intoxicate|intoxicating]] effects on [[human]]s, causing them to behave in ways they wouldn't normally when [[sober]].
: '''Alcohol''' is [[toxic]] in large quantities and over long periods of time.
: '''Alcohol''' poisoning can cause a person to die if too much '''alcohol''' is consumed in a short period of time. However, usually people do not die directly from the '''alcohol''' but because they drown in their own [[vomit]] or become involved in an accident.
: Prolonged '''alcohol''' abuse can lead to [[liver]] and [[kidney]] damage and even failure. This may require a [[liver]] [[transplant]] or a [[kidney]] [[transplant]].
