Question 10

i am hepatitis b carriers, could i drink wine?

Accepted Answer

Unadvisable: Hep b can cause cirrhosis of the liver. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver so anything that metabolizes directly through the liver shoud be avoided. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the same. So avoiding both will help preserve function. Additionally too much alcohol can cause cirrhosis too. So both can advance liver disease.
