Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
If you are able to limit alcohol intake to these 3 glasses and not to increase it,then this should not lead to significant liver damage,but it would be recommendable to lower this to XXXXXXX 2 glasses of wine. Milk thistle is proven as hepatoprotective supplement but it doesnt mean that man can drink excessively and take this supplement. In every case,you can take this product,but check your liver enzymes every 3-4 months. Wish you good health.feel free to ask. Regards
