How are the bronchi affected by alcohol?

Alcohol consumption can lead to inflammation of the bronchi, known as bronchitis, which may cause symptoms like coughing and increased mucus production. It can also impair the immune system, making the respiratory tract more susceptible to infections. Additionally, heavy drinking may exacerbate existing respiratory conditions, such as Asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), by affecting lung function and airway responsiveness.
