Not from 1 time: Doing this once is highly unlikely to cause any damage to your liver. Your liver is a robust organ that has substantial physiologic reserve. You drank the equivalent of 8.5 standard drinks in a day, which is technically a heavy drinking day. If you drank that much on a regular basis, you would put yourself at risk for liver damage and developing alcoholism. http://rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov
