Default damage to muscles caused by alcohol

Hi Guys can someone please give me some info on the damage alcohol does to our muscles and our organs? I'm hoping that this may be a good deterrent for me as I strive to become healthier and my body becomes fitter. Thanks Pan

I take it you have seen this thread?

Muscle damage

The article was contained in New Scientist of 10th Feb this year.

Somewhere in the thread there is a link to the new scientist website.
I think you can download the article there for a fee!

Alternatively - google on tissue damage caused by acetaldehyde or muscle damage caused by acetaldehyde - that should give you some scary stuff.

It is the acetaldehyde (a breakdown product of alcohol metabolism) that appears to be the culprit.
