A member asked:
Is it possible to have a glass of wine occasionally with fatty liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: It won't help the fatty liver. Some people are very sensitive, others less so. If other factors, such as overweight/obesity then those need to be dealt with as well (and every bit as much). The occasional glass of wine (for true occasions, e.g. Weddings, etc) won't cause much damage. Regular intake will, binge intake will.
