I'm a woman and I drink almost on a daily basis.. sometimes only 1 drink, sometimes a lot more. But on average, I'll drink 3 drinks a day. Is this liver-damaging or is this actually a fairly safe amount?

No judgments please... I don't usually go beyond 3 a day! But I just wanted to hear from people.. doctors.. those knowledgeable about alcohol/wine/beer. Thanks!

Hey Spike,
The American Medical Association and the Surgeon General have stated that they feel that no more than two drinks a day is beneficial. Red wine is supposed to be the most beneficial due to the anti-oxidants (however, they don't mention the sulfites, which are supposed to be harmful to everyone). Beer is supposed to be the next best alcohol you can drink.
Remember, women who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant should never have alcohol.
That being said, the former actor, singer and vaudevillian, George Burns used to have two glasses of scotch and two cigars per day and he lived to 99! So, I guess, everything in moderation!

3 drinks a day sounds pretty harmful to your liver. Of course, you must consider the types of drinks you are drinking. Is it just straight liquor, or mixed with something else? I suppose in either case, you should consider lowering your amount of alcohol intake daily.

If you are seriously asking this question then you already are worrying about having a problem. Therefore you do! Get off of Yahoo Answers and call someone who can really help you. There should be a number for AA or AA counselors. Really, don't you owe it to yourself and those who love you? Good luck and DO IT!

wine a day but...not 3. in the long run ths is going to be damaging but as a adult you should already now this and you should be well aware of the consequences you face because of this decision!!

More than 3 a day is almost certainly harmful.

It depends. How many drinks does it take for you do fall down and hurt yourself or end up in bed with a stranger? I suggest at least ONE less than that.
