The normal, healthy liver can process about 1/2 ounce of pure alcohol (thatâs 6 to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of spirits) in an hour.
Drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis almost always causes liver damage, although not always cirrhosis. Drinking 32 to 48 oz. of beer, 4 to 8 oz. of liquor, or 16 to 32 oz. of wine every day for 10 to 15 years or longer greatly increases your chances of developing cirrhosis. How much alcohol you drink, how often, and for how many years are more important than what kind of alcohol you drink.
