A member asked:

With a grade 2 liver laceration, how long before you can drink a beer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be kind: To your liver. It's the only one you get, and a transplant is a big deal. A liver laceration can take several weeks to heal. Wait for the ok from your doctor before considering doing anything that might compromise the health of your liver. Follow up imaging like an ultrasound may be helpful.
