Question 1

the liver can oxidize about how much alcohol per hour?

Accepted Answer

About half oz/hour: About half oz per hour.

Question 2

how much ounces of alcohol can the liver oxidize per hour?

Accepted Answer

Half oz/hour: About half oz per hour.

Question 3

can recover liver damaged by alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: You have asked the right question and I am very happy for you -- it sounds as if a life is about to be turned around. The liver regenerates wonderfully, and only 1/3 of people who drink horribly for decades get cirrhosis. Further, even a cirrhotic who sobers up will have some of the damage regress. And a liver that's fried on a beery wild weekend will heal without damage. Be glad & good luck.

Question 4

how much alcohol can my liver withstand?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On what disease you refer to. For cirrhosis, it takes usually heavy consumption for many years... Though some people may develop this faster.  Other disease such as fatty liver or acute alcoholic hepatitis can develop in shorter time spans.

Question 5

what is worse for the liver, alcohol or bad foods?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Consumed beyond moderation. Diet has little impact on your liver in spite of all the 'pop' claims. Less well-known is the risk of a sedentary lifestyle -- you must exercise or your liver will not function well and is likely to get fatty.

Question 6

which is worse for the liver? alcohol or ecstasy and by how much?

Accepted Answer

Drugs: You may be asking the wrong question. But alcohol is hard on the liver. Both are hard on the brain.

Question 7

can alcohol free wine effect the liver?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol free wine: Many problems of the liver are due directly to alcohol.  Alcohol free wine would protect one from alcohol damage, unless alcohol is consumed in some other form for example beer, or whiskey etc.

Question 8

can liver disease symptoms go away with alcohol?

Accepted Answer

No, alcohol: Will make your liver worse.  Don't drink if you have liver disease already.

Question 9

what kind of liver diseases are caused by alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Cirrhosis, hepatitis: Chronic, excessive alcohol use can cause acute alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fatty liver disease and ultimately lead to cirrhosis of the liver.  Liver cancer can occur as well once cirrhosis has developed.

Question 10

how long does alcohol and valium stay in your liver?

Accepted Answer

Highly variable: A healthy liver can metabolize alcohol at a brisk rate; a person with liver disease or an elderly person will likely metabolize it more slowly, so there's no single answer.
  The half-life of diazepam and its metabolites ranges from 20-200 hours after a single dose of valium.  This is deposited in fatty tissues, and so with chronic use, detectable levels can persist for much, much longer.
