Can anyone explain in detail what drug and alcohol abuse really do to the body?

Question by Vivacious82459: Can anyone explain in detail what drug and alcohol abuse really do to the body?
In the past I saw a commercial of an egg being fried with the caption stating: “This is what drugs do to your brain.” Can anyone explain in detail what drug and alcohol abuse really do to the brain and how it effects a persons moral reasoning or any other effect it would have on the brain. How does it effect the entire body? Someone once told me that if you take drugs it could stunt the growth of or shrink your sexual organs, is this true?

It ultimately depends on which drug. Alcohol can be just as damaging as many of the hard drugs if consumed in excess.
My father-in-law was a heavy drinker…he wound up with Pancreatic cancer and died.
In the short term, these things will kill off your brain cells.
