A member asked:
I've had an elevated alt the past 4 months (74, 63, 75 consecutively). don't usually drink but have an event coming up. is it ok to have a drink?

No: Alcohol is a poison and it affect the liver and brain more than other organs. It does no body any good, so it would be prudent to abstain. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
