Oh, yes. My sister was a wine drinker (and not that much) and the liver damage it caused killed her……….

At least it is easier to handle, maybe not a cure. Bless you.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Julie, even tho' it was painful for you. You might have just saved someone from drinking a lot of wine.

Any amount of alcohol taxes the organs, if in moderation (not 1 1/2 bottles) your body can cope with it. Like a drink or two a day, may not be too bad, if you are healthy otherwise... However, if you also take medications, all of this is not true, you should not drink with most medications in your system...

Rule of thumb is one glass a day for women, two for men. Any more would be considered over drinking.

Hey Journey,1 and a half bottles a day is far to much..It takes 1 hour for your liver to burn .6 of an ounce of alcohol,,and there is .6 of an ounce in 1 standard serving of beer,wine....there is about 25 us fluid ounces in a bottle of wine,,i am working this out on Aussie Booze,,your liver has enough problems burning the normal problems of life,,like anything in life mate,,you can over work it,,it is not a part of your body that heals itself very well,,,,give it a lot of thought mate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,always nice talking mate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

A glass and a half a day ought to be a maximum for most people, even that's probably a bit much everyday. They say you should have a couple of days a week alcohol free, I have one glass most days, I try not to exceed that ,and I do try to have a day most weeks without any.
