Would Alcohol Ingestion Slow Down Liver Laceration Healing?
I lacerated my liver over 2 months ago, i was in the hospital for a week but did not need surgery. I followed my doctors orders and still have some discomfort. today is my 21st birthday and i want to have a beer, would that significantly slow my healing progress?

Hello,
I understand your concern about recovery.
Single time consumption of beer has no effect on healing process of liver laceration. But you must be careful not to fall down under effect of alcohol as this is the bigger risk factor for not healing liver laceration.
Alcohol consumption on regular basis is surely compromising liver function and over the time it may lead to end-stage of liver disease.
