However, there are studies that claim that it can cause irreparable damage to DNA and is a fundamental factor in the development of different types of cancer. Most of us enjoy an occasional beer or a good wine with friends but, what would happen in our body if we stopped doing it?

Three ways to stop drinking alcohol improves our health

1- Improve our sleep

A study published in the scientific journal Alcoholism explains that any dose of this substance causes a significant reduction in deep sleep. This means that we will sleep faster, and we will be fine during the first phase of the dream but then, in the second half of the cycle we will not be able to continue.

2- It benefits our immune system

To consume alcohol in excess generates a greater vulnerability of our organism before certain diseases. According to the National Healthcare System, the American health system, those who drink excessively have a higher probability of contracting infectious diseases.

3- It is good for the skin

Very shortly after leaving alcohol most people notice improvements in the appearance of their skin. This is because alcohol dehydrates and over time damages the dermis. It makes us look "older". ![alcohol.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcof2rs3WjwKtsoG8Z4YzAQunREkfZByBvC7XRwzqWLEd/alcohol.jpg) Alcohol consumption has become naturalized, even among the youngest who consume it more frequently and without taking into account the consequences. Take a drink once in a while is not bad but the ideal would be to eliminate it from our diet. ---------------------- Reference: Buena Vibra ![DQmUbU6rtLLL8MAzNJ1JZEw5fLB1QU8o5qaVP3jAQg7jJAd.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUbU6rtLLL8MAzNJ1JZEw5fLB1QU8o5qaVP3jAQg7jJAd/DQmUbU6rtLLL8MAzNJ1JZEw5fLB1QU8o5qaVP3jAQg7jJAd.jpg)
