Apple cider vinegar?: assuming that's what you mean, no, there is no evidence for it being bad for your liver and indeed, many sources tout it as a 'cleanser' (there is no evidence for that, either). your GI tract especially if you suffer from heartburn might not thank you for it though, so consume in moderation.
