    Patients with liver disease cannot drink beer. Beer contains alcohol. After alcohol is absorbed into the body through the gastrointestinal tract, it needs to be decomposed by the metabolism of liver and other tissues and organs. There is abnormal liver function, weak detoxification ability, can not play the detoxification role in time, easy to alcohol poisoning. As a result, a large amount of acetaldehyde, which poisons liver cells, accumulates in the liver and promotes the worsening of liver disease. Drinking a lot of alcohol can cause alcoholic cirrhosis.
