Can you let me know how many drinks a day does it take to cause cirrhosis of the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends.On your constitution, whether you had hepatitis or not, whether you have balanced nutrition and duet, etc. One to two drinks per day is probably safe unless you have previous liver disease.
