I suffered a grade 4 liver laceration. hospitalized for nine days. how long should i wait before consuming alcohol?

6-8 weeks: You want to wait 6-8 weeks to consume alcohol. The liver needs to heal completely. Remember also that the maximum amount of alcohol that is felt to be safe for women to consume is no more than one drink a day, that is one beer, one small glass of wine or one shot of spirits.
