where is the threshold of # of drinks in a day where daily drinking begins to adversely affect liver? I thought a glass of wine a day was considered neutral or positive, so how many glasses of wine is unehealthy for 3-7 consecutive days?
- eightails 6y agoI was somewhat curious too, and from a brief search found a 2004 paper that calculated roughly 1 standard drink/day for women and 2 for men as the limit before you start increasing risk of adverse effects. I haven't looked at the full text though. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0091743503003256 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00917...
