A member asked:
Will a bottle of wine a day cause cirrhosis or what are the chances?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stop: A bottle of wine daily is quite excessive. Over a period of time you are at risk high for many conditions not just cirrhosis. These include higher risk for cancers. The answer to your question is brief and direct. The World Health Organization has determined that there is no safe level of alcohol. Your best outcome is to stop drinking-and if you cannot, seek help from the many available resources.

Too much: This kind of consumption is common in France and quite a few of these people get cirrhosis. A pint of whiskey a day can cause cirrhosis within as short as a decade. Your photo shows a healthy woman in her prime. Wouldn't life be better in so many ways if you were sober? For the sake of those who love you, think about your other options. Best wishes.
