Alcohol is a "depressant" therefore it can cause you to react different in situations. It can impair your judgement and reflexes, making you more likely to do something illegal or dangerous. People often lose social inhibitions when drunk, which can include them not keeping their anger in check. The impaired thinking and reflexes also makes it difficult to complete tasks properly, which is why it is illegal to drive while intoxicated.

It suppresses your ADH (anti-diureitc hormone) making you pee a lot, this can cause dehydrating, can cause erratic behaviour. Obesity, withdrawal symptoms.

Chronic drinking of alcohol can lead to liver damage, brain damage, and Heart disease. Drinking while pregnant can be harmful to the fetus, causing stunted growth and metal deficiency.

Alcohol in and of itself is toxic. People, mostly those who participate in binge drinking, have died of alcohol poisoning. A blood alcohol level of 0.5% or greater is usually fatal.
