A member asked:
Is it safe to drink alcohol after recently having had surgery for a spleen injury sustained in a car accident ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In moderation: Keep it to no more than 1 drink per day. The spleen plays no part in metabolism of alcohol in the body. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
