someone who abuses alcohol long - term can end up with problems like stroke, due to

alcohols effects on the central nervous system

alcohols effects on neurotransmitters

alcohols effects on the heart and vessels

alcohols effects on essential nutrients

Explanation:

Stroke is related to blood vessels and the heart. Long - term alcohol abuse affects the heart and blood vessels. For example, it can cause high blood pressure (a risk factor for stroke) by affecting the heart's function and the health of blood vessels. Alcohol's effects on the central nervous system (like causing sedation) or neurotransmitters (altering mood - related chemicals) are more related to neurological symptoms like confusion or mood changes rather than stroke. Effects on essential nutrients (like causing vitamin deficiencies) may lead to other problems (e.g., neuropathy from B - vitamin deficiency) but not directly to stroke.

Answer:

alcohol's effects on the heart and vessels
