How long do you have to abstain from moderate alcohol consumion to let your liver regenerate?

Answer 1

I don't know what you mean by "regenerate," because human organs do not regenerate themselves. If your liver is functioning normally, the time it will take to let it recover is directly proportional to the stress it's been subjected to by metabolizing alcohol, which depends on your body size, how much and how often you drink. If you have scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), though, this is irreversible and you would be wise to stop drinking altogether because cirrhosis leads to complete liver failure. A good rule of thumb is: If you suspect that you are damaging your liver, you might want to cut back.
