The liver is a large organ in the right upper part of the abdomen. When people have severe trauma to the abdomen it can rip (the laceration) and cause life threatening bleeding (or bleeding that is not bad - it varies). If the bleeding if felt to be serious the treatment is to do surgery and repair it.

Can you drink after having a lacerated liver?
Yes, just as soon as your liver is healed. How soon will your liver heal? That depends on your body and the grade of laceration. For me, I have a third degree liver laceration. It will be approximately three months before my liver is healed. The liver filters poisons from the body. The body considers alcohol to be a poison. You can see the problem in drinking alcohol in that if the body's filtration mechanism is not fully functional problems will arise... ask yourself where that poison will go, or better yet, where will that poison stay?
