A member asked:
My partner has an inflamed liver and we are in the process of finding out what from. can she have 2 standard drinks per night still?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, of course not!: Any is too much right now! when it presents a problem with underlying medical disease (in your partner's case, there is an as yet undefined liver problem) then the drinker in question must stop. Acute alcohol syndromes (fatty liver with or w/o cholestasis, hepatitis) are reversible. Alcoholic cirrhosis (10-20% of longstanding heavy users ; higher risk in women) is irreversible.
