Alcohol Deaths From an Indirect Causation Perspective
In most instances, abusive and excessive alcohol consumption indirectly leads to alcohol deaths. Keep in mind however, that this does not mean that alcoholism and extreme alcohol abuse are any less responsible in the outcomes. Indeed, if alcoholics drink hard enough and long enough, it is almost a guarantee that they will lose their lives to an alcohol-related medical condition, illness, or disease.
The following list represents the various kinds of cancer that are directly or indirectly caused by alcohol dependence. Keep in mind that death is not inevitable with a person who has cancer. The point of emphasis here, however, is on people who have died from cancer that was directly related to alcohol dependence.
- Kidneys
- Colon
- Rectum
- Stomach
- Liver
- Throat
- Esophagus
- Larynx
The following is a list non-cancerous medical conditions, diseases, and illnesses caused directly or indirectly by alcohol dependency. Again, the point is that alcohol addiction leads directly or indirectly to the following medical conditions and illnesses, all of which can and do result in fatalities.
- Diabetes
- Kidney and urinary tract infections
- Brain damage
- Pneumonia
- Ulcers from the perforation of the stomach and the intestines
- Cardiovascular problems such as strokes, cardiomyopathy (damage to the heart muscle), heart failure, and high blood pressure
- Organ and system malfunction
- Wernicke's disease (a memory disorder)
- Infections
- Kidney failure
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Pancreatitis
- Coma
