What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Drinking Alcohol?

GOOD THINGS –

Jan. 1, 2025 – But what happens to your body when you stop drinking? To find out, we explored scientific research and spoke with registered dietitians who shared insights on the immediate and long-term benefits. From better sleep and mental clarity to healthier skin and improved liver function, giving up alcohol triggers a cascade of positive changes in your body. According to the NIH, alcohol can contribute to liver inflammation and fatty liver disease. However, giving up alcohol gives your liver the chance to repair and regenerate. “Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage, including fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis,” says Trista Best, RD, a registered dietitian with Balance One Supplements. “Quitting alcohol allows the liver to regenerate and repair, promoting overall liver health.”
