A member asked:
My boyfriend drinks every day. he is 53 and very active. he says he only drinks about 44 onzes a day. could this damage his liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 44 ounces of an alcoholic drink is a great deal. Even for beer which has the lowest alcohol content this would be a 4 bottles a day and could be harmful to his liver. Other kinds of drinks even worse.
