Cholera is a disease due to consumption of contaminated food or water.

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which is transmitted through the fecal-oral route.

Ingestion of water or food contaminated with the feces of an infected person is the primary mode of transmission. The bacterium produces a toxin that causes severe watery diarrhea, leading to rapid dehydration. It is not a genetic disease, nor primarily related to alcohol consumption or causing loss of memory.
