How much whiskey?: Your risk of alcohol-related liver disease is largely dependent on how much you consume & for how long. If by "at least one whiskey/day" you really mean three or four, then yes you are placing your liver at risk. Risk is further magnified by added insults to your liver (medications, occupational exposures, underlying familial or viral liver diseases, or prior cirrhosis) as well as female gender.
