Can a year and a half of heavy binge drinking every weekend in college cause any long-term health problems if the drinking is reduced to moderate after that?

Hi.. Mild alcohol consumption is accepted, however heavy drinking can cause ill effects... If  it had not caused problems yet, continuing it will probably lead to those problems which includes liver disease, heart condition, strokes.. The time period however for the development of complications are unknown, however, if you are going to contine with the same behaviour, most probably you will end up having one of those conditions by the time you reach 35  years of age.. So stop consuming heavy amount of alcohol...
