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.
The bulk of alcohol's metabolism takes place in the liver, which is why the liver is particularly at risk of damage. Alcoholic liver disease is mostly influenced by the amount and duration of alcohol abuse, and chronic heavy drinking poses a substantial risk for its development. At least 90% of people who drink heavily will develop alcoholic fatty liver, an early and reversible consequence of excessive alcohol intake.
