Drugs (Multiple Choice) QP

The documents discuss the effects of alcohol and drug consumption on the body. The liver breaks down alcohol and drugs, and drinking too much alcohol can damage the liver over time. Smoking destroys the cilia in the lungs, allowing more bacteria and particles to enter the lungs and increasing health risks like lung cancer. The tar in cigarette smoke reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
