According to BBC News, conducted a study which showed that the excessive consumption of alcohol reduces the body resistance against infektsiy.Obilnye drink deduce damaged immune system, "turning off" cytokines - proteins that are vital for preventing attacks of viruses and bakteriy.Testy in mice have demonstrated that these proteins do not come to a working condition within 24 hours after a dose of spirta.Don Schenker, director of the charity Alcohol Concern, said: "All we know about the short-term effects of taking large amounts of alcohol, but more recently has information on how to can permanently damage our health.
