After one night of excessive drinking, you may think the only consequence is a splitting headache or a hangover, but you’re actually doing harm to body in the long run.

If you drink at least 5 drinks in one night, you’re defined as a “single occasion risky drinker”, so it’s best to stick to 2 standard drinks on any one occasion.

Some of the risks to your health include, brain damage, cancer, alcohol poisoning, heart problems, liver disease and diabetes.

And if you thought you were young enough not to do any permanent damage to your health, you are mistaken. According to research, brain damage from alcohol is a greater risk for people under the age of 25.
