A member asked:
Can a person with gilbert's syndrome still drink alcohol (1-2 drinks) per day or is it dangerous since bilirubin is already elevated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gilbert's syndrome: This is harmless. But excess alcohol can poison anyone's liver. I do not know what size drink you are talking about. 2 Oz a day is max recommended for most but less is better. Any Alcoholics in your family? Beware then due to this but Gilbert's is no worries.
