liver condition due to alcohol consumption
Liver is the largest organ of our body. Liver is also called self fighter. That means if there is any problem in the liver, it cures it on its own. Liver can be easily donated to anyone for transplant. If you donate the liver to someone by cutting it, then within a few months the liver of both the donor and the recipient becomes the same size again. However, due to some bad habits, this strongest organ also starts becoming sick. The biggest reason for this is alcohol consumption, which is considered the biggest enemy of the liver. Drinking too much alcohol has a bad effect on the liver. In the long run, this increases the risk of liver cirrhosis.
Renowned doctor AB Phillips, who is known as Liver Doc, has shared a photo on Twitter and told people what happens to your healthy liver due to drinking alcohol. The doctor says that many people say that we only drink beer or wine which does not cause any harm. This is not so. All alcoholic drinks contain ethanol. This ethanol causes a lot of damage to the liver.

Liver Cirrhosis
This photo shows a middle-aged man with alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver who always drank only beer and did not consume hard alcohol. This person had 5 to 8 beers every week and this had been going on for many years. Apart from this, another risk factor that damaged the liver was obesity.
What is liver cirrhosis and how does it occur?
If liver related problems persist for a long time, then they cause a condition like liver cirrhosis. In which the liver starts getting damaged. In such a situation, scar tissue is formed on the liver. Which replaces the healthy tissues of the liver. Due to this, the blood flow in the liver starts decreasing. Due to this, scar tissue starts accumulating in the liver and the liver stops functioning properly. As cirrhosis increases, more scar tissue is formed. Due to this, the liver starts facing difficulties in its function. The major cause of liver cirrhosis is long-term alcohol addiction and hepatitis.
