Abstract
Chronic consumption of a large quantity of alcohol often results in the disruption of the communication between the nervous, endocrine and immune systems leading to profound and serious consequences at the physiological and behavioral levels. The overall impact of excessive alcohol consumption on bone health, metabolic profile and body composition, especially at moderate levels, is not well understood. Chronic excessive alcohol consumption adversely affects bone health through multiple mechanisms leading to low bone mass. It may also be significantly associated with various components on the metabolic syndrome. This review summarizes the findings from published studies that provide consistent evidence on the various effects of alcohol abuse on the bone health and metabolism.
