Everyone has their own ways of dealing with stress, and unfortunately not all of them are good ways. Cops aren't necessarily any better at it than anyone else, and unfortunately alcohol is a fairly common numbing agent when things are not going to plan. Booze May make you feel pretty good for a little while, but eventually the drunken stupor wears off, and you're left right where you started, but usually with a hangover.
Booze can really do a number on the body when it is abused. The liver takes the brunt of it, since it is responsible for cleaning toxins out of the blood. Cirrhosis, or scarring, can block the flow of blood to the liver, preventing it from doing its job. Without a functional liver, toxins remain in the body and can cause even more issues or death.
Alcohol can have other serious effects on the body including increased risk of gouty arthritis, increased risk of several types of cancer, heart disease, hyperglycemia, malnutrition, obesity, and other psychological disturbances such as anxiety or depression.
