What happens to the body when a person drinks alcohol once a month, weekly, or daily?
AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist Dr Saurabh Sethi said there's minimal cumulative liver load when one drinks once a month. However, one may experience "worse sleep that night" and "some dehydration". Liver stress begins when a person drinks once a week, and sleep quality decreases, Sethi shared. Daily drinking can lead to severe liver damage, complete metabolic breakdown and high risk of cancer.
