Question

select the correct answer.
which is not a common long - term effect of excessive alcohol consumption?
a. liver damage
b. oral cancer
c. digestive problems

Explanation:

• Liver damage (like cirrhosis) is a well - known long - term effect of excessive alcohol as the liver metabolizes alcohol, and chronic alcohol use can harm it.
• Digestive problems (such as gastritis, ulcers, and issues with nutrient absorption) often result from long - term alcohol consumption as it irritates the digestive tract.
• Oral cancer is more strongly associated with factors like tobacco use (including smoking and chewing), human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and poor oral hygiene. While alcohol can be a contributing factor in some cases, it is not as common a long - term effect of excessive alcohol consumption as liver damage or digestive problems.

Answer:

B. oral cancer
