Your liver is the primary recycling center of the body that breaks down a variety of materials, preserving the good and discarding the bad. Alcohol is broken down by the liver into les toxic materials. The liver cells can tolerate a reasonable amount of social consumption but the past injury may make that ability marginal. It takes 4-6 weeks for most injuries to settle down. Consume with caution.

Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
