I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. How much alcohol should one drink regularly to develop alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Frequent beer consumption, if excessive alcohol intake, can easily lead to alcoholic liver disease. It is best to avoid overconsumption and it is recommended to have a thorough liver function test. Additionally, it is advised to undergo a liver and gallbladder ultrasound examination. Pay attention to rest and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, etc. If alcoholic liver disease is present, liver-protecting medications can be taken for treatment.
