Doctor shares five changes that happen to your body after a month of no drinking (Page 3 ) | March 22, 2025

In extreme cases, long-term heavy drinking can lead to serious problems including alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Clearer mental function

One thing alcohol impacts is the brain’s ability to function.

According to the medic, over time this can impact on memory and cognitive capability, and taking a break can improve on your attention span, memory, and problem-solving.

More stable mood

This is tied in to the last point as cognitive abilities aren’t the only brain function impacted by alcohol.

Though there might be a temptation to use alcohol as a stress relief, Dr Turner notes that it has been shown to increase symptoms of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Weight loss

All of us know about beer bellies, but plenty of other alcoholic beverages also have a lot of calories in them, and cutting back means you’ll no longer have those extra calories in your diet.

Though as a caveat, if you’re switching out to a non alcoholic beer then this won’t apply as it may not have the booze but it still has the calories.

Dr Turner also notes that while it’s perfectly fine to enjoy drinking in moderation, taking a pause is a very good way to give your body a break, as well as to nip any potential for an unhealthy relationship with alcohol in the bud.
