These range in severity from chronic dehydration and hypoglycemia to the life-threatening symptoms associated with withdrawal. Alcoholism is another condition that can arise from alcohol consumption, which is both an effect of liquor consumption, but is also a catalyst to other ill effects associated with drinking.The short-term effects of drinking liquor (as it pertains to the human body) are as diverse and plentiful as the long-term effects.
