It can also cause slurred speech. These are caused by the long-term damage to the brain caused by alcohol. After long-term drinking, the brain nerves are naturally accustomed to alcohol stimulation, and they will produce alcohol addiction, such as alcohol dependence, although they don't drink much every day, without alcohol, they can't even eat, which brings too much inconvenience to life and work.
