                                Chronic heavy alcohol consumption has long been associated with various hematological abnormalities. While some short-term effects may create a misleadingly high hemoglobin reading, excessive alcohol consumption does not increase hemoglobin levels in a healthy way. Instead, it primarily leads to nutrient deficiencies and bone marrow suppression, causing anemia.
