If Someone Drank The Recommended Maximum Units Of Alcohol(3-4 For Men, 2-3 For Women) Each Day...

...would they be at serious risk of contracting liver disease?

[Psybbo]

Sandy, have you been back to Fibbers or do you just have a glass of red at home (apparently very good for you, this week anyway)

[sandyRoe]

Psybbo, I haven't been in a bar for years. I've stopped drinking at home because I was knocking a bottle back in about 20 minutes.
A drink or two, to relax you, doesn't really work for me.

[tonyav]

Have you knocked this drinking lark on the head then, sandy ?.

[sandyRoe]

I'm not drinking just now. There's too much stress in my life and I know I might let the booze spur me to do something I'd regret.
But I've started smoking again, about 40 a day.

[tonyav]

Oh dear, sandy. you seem to have substituted one for another. Do you think you could pack it up again ?.

[paddywak]

Men and women have been drinking alcohol in various amounts for hundreds of years before people suddenly discovered statistics and realised that EVERYTHING is bad for us

[tonyav]

Yep statistics, paddywak. They'll be the death of us ;-)

[paddywak]

Too true tony, I was always told a little bit of everything in moderation.

[Old_Geezer]

They'd be at serious risk of thinking that they were teetotal.

[tonyav]

So do I, paddywak.

[ummmm]

My dad was a drinker (never at home though) and he died of liver cancer aged 59. He also had Cirrhosis but it was the cancer that killed him.

I know much heavier drinkers that are still going strong.

Pot luck I reckon...

it's getting to the point where a sniff of a barmaid's apron is going to put you at serious risk of damaging your health

[sandyRoe]

It would if her partner caught you at it. :-)
