Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Chronic Alcohol intake causes impaired prospective memory, impaired cognitive ability and dementia. Tremors in limbs is also common.
The effects on your hands that you noticed are because of alcohol intake only.
The higher the volume of alcohol consumed and the longer consumed, the more severe the impairments. One of the organs most sensitive to the toxic effects of chronic alcohol consumption is the brain.
Essential tremors, irritability, mental depression and social avoidance are its other effects.
It is also known to cause brain shrinkage, psychiatric problems and physical dependence. It also causes peripheral vasodilatation causing heat production in the extremities.
Hope this answers your query.I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
