A member asked:
Can you develop cirrosis of the liver just by drinking a glass of wine every night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: But possible. Some people are very sensitive to the effects of alcohol in liver. Usually it's never just one glass...Since a glass a day of wine usually has beneficial health effects.
