Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Alcohol is an hepatotoxic substance and should be avoided for at least 3 months after your liver function tests become normal.
Moreover it doesn't make any difference whether you consume wine or beer or whiskey.
All these contain alcohol.
Best would be to start in small quantities and then can add on after using for some time.
Make sure that your liver has completely healed by way of liver function tests as well as by way of ultrasound,before you start consuming alcohol.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
