Alexander Umnov, a surgeon, called the kidneys the organ most damaged by beer abuse.
Alexander Umnov, a surgeon, warned Russians against drinking too much beer. The specialist said that a large amount of beer drunk can provoke the development of very dangerous problems with the kidneys, up to the development of a kidney infarction.
