Just drink on the weekend and look at the picture of a normal person's liver, then don't say – 'Aji nothing happens'
Everyone is aware that alcohol can rot our liver, but if you have been saying that there is no problem in drinking occasionally, then it will prove to be just your wishful casserole.
Silent Danger of Alcohol on Liver Health: Alcohol is considered to be an enemy of health, but if you think that if you drink only once a week, then nothing will happen, then it can prove to be a big mistake. Alcohol consumption, even in small quantities, is a serious threat to liver health. Recently, a viral post by renowned liver expert Dr. Cyriac Abby Phillips, popularly known as 'The Liver Doctor', highlighted this topic. The post compares two livers, a 32-year-old man who "only drank on weekends" with his liver looking black and damaged. This organ was donated by his wife, which looked healthy and pink. This picture shows the silent but serious damage caused to the liver by alcohol over time.
Dr. Phillips emphasized that consuming small amounts of alcohol, such as drinking only on weekends, can cause serious liver damage. Alcohol acts like a toxin, which is metabolized by the liver into harmful carcinogenic byproducts that deplete the resources of the organ for other essential functions. Speed of consumption (blood alcohol concentration or BAC), genetic predisposition (enzymes such as ADH and ALDH2), and lifestyle habits further affect the extent of liver damage.
It is often seen that assessing the effect of alcohol or misestimating its quantity can prove to be a major threat to health. Individual sensitivities, genetic variations and co-existing health conditions also play a role in determining the effect of alcohol, drinking alcohol on weekends, which is often considered harmless, but can cause significant cumulative stress on the liver that eventually leads to organ damage.
