A member asked:
Can i still drink socially if i have hepatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult your doctor: There are many different causes and degrees of severity of hepatitis. And many different definitions of "drink socially". Thus every patient with hepatitis who wishes to drink alcohol should speak directly with their doctor or perhaps a hepatologist to determine if alcohol is appropriate to consume. In general, it is metabolized by the liver so caution is warranted in settings of liver disease.
