Hello,
Hemangioma of liver is a benign tumor of blood vessels. Complications of hemangioma are due to increase in size or rupture of tumor. Alcohol leads to increase in liver enzymes and thus deleterious to health of liver. I suggest you to abstain from alcohol to keep the liver enzymes in control.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
