It's no secret that many people tend to consume more booze over the festive period. It's the time of year where you get invited to multiple Christmas parties and 'catch ups' - and then of course there's New Year.
These social gatherings and events can quickly pile up, and before you know it you find yourself spending a big chunk of December on the ale.
Now while of course there is a lot of fun to be had when drinking, it's important to think about the impact it's having on your body. The effects of consuming large amounts of alcohol can be devastating - both in the short term and long term if you over-do it.
