 Hi, I'm Dr. Olyth Silvan, Consulant Heptologist and Chairman Division of Liver Transplantation, Manipal Hospital's Bangalore. If you look at alcohol intake and liver disease, there's a general correlation that if you drink more alcohol, you will get liver disease or the chance of getting liver disease or more. But this correlation is always not 100%. So you could have somebody who does not drink much alcohol, still getting liver disease, and you could also have somebody who drinks excessively almost every day for many years who might not get liver disease. This is also influenced by multiple factors including your genetics, your makeup and your lifestyle. But predominantly, it involves the amount of alcohol you take.
