Hello ,
thank you for your question . I have been asked many times this question . If you were my pafient i would have told you that the effect of drinking alcohol and liver damage are different for every person . It depends on an enzyme , that is commonly in lower levels in women . In most cases , if no liver deasses are present , you can process with no health effect about 20-30 grams alcohol .In conclusion you can drink as much as 150-200 ml red wine without health side effect . In fact there are many cardiology statements that says glass of wine every day have health benefits . Hope i have helped you .
Best regards !
