Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Beer contain low concentration of alcohol (4-8%). Due to that many persons considered it safe. But it is not true. Even it can be more harmful for considering excessive amount of use in your case which is around 6-8 bottles daily in your case.

It will increase process of artery blockage. Same time it will damage your liver apart from causing damage almost all part of the body. So it is better to stop drinking beer. If you are not able to quit self then you can meet meet psychiatrist for deaddiction.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
