Many things have been said already. Just my 2 cents.

My dad was an alcoholic, he passed away a few years ago. His last 5 years he suffered from vascular dementia, which was induced by high blood pressure. Frequent consumption of alcohol a) further increased the blood pressure, b) made him sufficiently lethargic to not see a doctor for 40 years, and c) damaged his body so far that a minor lung infection basically instantly killed him.

So even without direct effect, alcohol can easily kill you.
