10 things that happen to your body when you stop drinking alcohol. A Few points from this website are explained.
Whether you're drinking more frequently than you'd like to, or you're thinking of making your Dry January stint a more permanent one, there are plenty of reasons why people choose to stop consuming alcohol. But whatever your decision for ditching the booze, there is one overarching benefit that applies to everybody: better health. From glowing skin to a stronger immune system, there's a long list of advantages to being teetotal - and let's face it, who doesn't love feeling the freshest version of themselves?

But thanks to cultural and societal norms, alcohol is literally everywhere, which is why it's so easy to drink more than the recommended weekly amount, which is no more than 14 units, according to the NHS. The fact is, alcohol is the only socially-accepted mind-altering substance in the world, which means it's never going to completely go away. This is all despite the growing number of non-alcoholic beers, wines and spirits, or the slew of soft options available in replacement. However, if your health is a priority and you'd like to learn more about what happens to your body when you stop drinking alcohol, the benefits might sway your decision when you go to order your fifth cocktail of the night. Here's everything you need to know about how your body changes - for the better… (Picture: Getty Images)
1) Weight loss: Before we start, in no way are we saying that you need to lose weight. All bodies, whatever shape or size are all worthy of respect. And you should only embark on a weight loss journey if it feels right and healthy to you. That being said, there's no denying that being overweight does come with certain health risks, so if you know that alcohol is a contribution to your weight gain, there's no harm in cutting down. To put this into perspective, there are typically 154 calories in one can of beer. Or, if you prefer wine, a glass of your favourite pinot grigio contains 142 calories. Plus, research has shown that alcohol increases your appetite, and that you're likely to eat 30% more food after just two drinks, compared to someone who is not drinking (Picture: Getty Images)
2) Healthier liver: This is one of the more obvious ones, because we all know that too much booze = an unhappy liver. But what actually happens to the vital organ when you drink too much, and how does it react when you give up the Friday night beers? In a nutshell, every time you drink alcohol, the liver filters it out, but some of its cells die in the process. Luckily, the liver does a great job at developing new cells, however, prolonged alcohol abuse can cause irreversible and permanent damage, including liver disease. With alcohol gone and the liver able to recover, the organ can then focus on its other important jobs, which includes breaking down other toxins produced by the body, and metabolising hormones and fats that require breaking down. Not to mention balancing blood sugar levels and helping to digest food (Picture: Getty Images)
9) Improves energy levels: Like we said earlier, you'll get a much better night's sleep when you cut out alcohol. Catching enough zzz's (which for an adult is between seven and nine hours per night) has a direct impact on your energy levels. When you remove alcohol from your system, including its dehydrating effects, you'll be less inclined to grab carb-heavy and sugary foods for a quick energy boost, where you'll later crash twice as hard. Again, this contributes to the weight loss point from before. What's more, your improved energy levels will also help towards a clearer mind, which we're about to get into now… (Picture: Getty Images)
