So can water toxicity. The point is the most common effect of alcohol is on the liver. This is not a nurse. But you have illustrates the notion of hearing hoof beats and thinking zebra first.

“The point is the most common effect of alcohol is on the liver.”

Surprised at the venom. I googled it. All the sites say yes, drinking can destroy the kidneys.

And yet, for people that live near zebras, they likely ALL associate a hoofbeat moreso with zebras than any other ungulate. It's not a matter of cherry-picking data, it's a matter of comparing it to personal experiences.

Also, she may not deal with that particular subject all the time as a nurse, and it's easy to mix up minor details on stuff like that. Ignoring that alcohol does affect the kidney also. Sure, the liver's the usual popular target, but kidneys are hit too.
