The better question is whether having double digit numbers of beers 3-5 nights/wk for all 4 yrs of college will have lasting negative effects on the liver...I sure hope not [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yes, in fact your liver will crawl out of your body and slap you senseless.

It seems like most people don't give a damn about their diet, but somehow think alcohol in moderation is worse.

People who suffer from liver problems have jack daniels hooked up to an IV.

You'll be fine.

Indeed. One drink a day, whether a beer, a glass of wine, or a shot of vodka, has been shown to have many health benefits in men. You can't "save up" and have no beers through the week and 7 on Sunday, but 1 per day is great.

i've read this (at least about wine). i've always wondered if the effect that researchers picked up was actually that people who drink only 1 drink per day tend to do most things in moderation. e.g., they might be less likely to go nuts and eat a box of oreos than someone who drinks 0 or 8 drinks per day.

but no, i don't think 1 beer per day will have any negative health affects except maybe a few empty calories.

So, what does it take to start worrying about cirrhosis and other fun liver problems. As in, I'm a lush who's getting a little paranoid as I get older.
