Effects of Alcohol
• Long term alcohol consumption can lead
to the loss of muscle mass
• If you are a bodybuilder etc. the alcohol
can reverse all the hard work you have
done.
• Women are more effected by loss of
muscle because they are naturally less
muscular
Effects of Alcohol
• Once your body stops consuming alcohol,
it goes through what's called alcohol
withdrawal.
• This can lead to weakened muscle’s which
causes tremors or morning shakes.
Effects of Marijuana
• Can reduce muscle flexibility
• Increases muscular relaxation
• It increases your heart rate which can
cause a heart attack
Opinion
• In our opinion we believe that alcohol is
worse because it can make a person loose
muscles unlike marijuana which just
relaxes the muscles.
