Abstaining from alcohol can lead to better liver function, reduced risk of liver disease, improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and decreased risk of certain cancers
Drinking alcohol socially with friends and colleagues is normal for many of us. But if these “social” situations happen to you once every two-three days, chances are you’re consuming much more alcohol than you realise. And this heavy consumption will come with disastrous effects of its own.
Dr Sanjay Gupta, Consultant at the Department of Internal Medicine, Manipal Hospitals, Dwarka, says social drinking includes only drinking once or twice per month, and it may not hamper your quality of life except if you’re obese, hypertensive or diabetic.
“Consuming more than 500 ml of alcohol daily is extremely bad for your health”, says Dr Shrey Srivastav, MD, Internal Medicine and Assistant Professor at the Department of Internal Medicine, Sharda Hospital, Greater Noida.
