A member asked:
Diagnosed with focal nodular hyperplasia which is a benign tumor of the liver. is it safe to drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes in moderation: This is a benign condition usually caused by use of hormones. So it is reversible and most of your liver is healthy. So occasional drinking should not be of any concern. Excessive use will damage it further.
