Patient's question:
At a recent gathering, I drank quite a bit of alcohol. Every time I come home, my mom worries about me getting alcoholic liver disease and says it's incurable. But I don't understand, how can drinking a little alcohol lead to alcoholic liver disease? Besides, what exactly is a "spirit liver"?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is caused by long-term beer consumption, leading to alcoholic fatty liver disease. This is also known as alcoholic liver disease. Drinking alcohol occasionally will generally not result in alcoholic liver disease. However, drinking large amounts of beer can increase the risk of developing alcoholic liver disease. To prevent this condition, it is important to avoid long-term, excessive beer consumption and stay away from these harmful factors. Prevention is better than cure, so if you suspect you have alcoholic liver disease, it is advisable to undergo a thorough examination at a hospital.
