Once a Grade 2 fatty liver has reversed, it’s a great sign that your liver has regenerated well — but it also means it’s more sensitive to future stress. Even small amounts of alcohol can trigger fat re-accumulation if consumed regularly.
While there’s no fixed “safe” number, medical consensus is that complete avoidance is best for at least 6–12 months after reversal to allow the liver to stabilize fully.
If you choose to drink occasionally, limit it to:
• Not more than 1–2 standard drinks per occasion (a standard drink = 30 mL of spirits, 120 mL wine, or 330 mL beer).
• No more than once a month, and never on consecutive days.
• Avoid alcohol entirely if you have elevated liver enzymes, diabetes, obesity, or high triglycerides.
Next Steps
• •Keep monitoring LFT and ultrasound every 6 months.
• Maintain a healthy diet, regular exercise, and ideal weight.
• Avoid combining alcohol with painkillers or protein supplements that strain the liver.
• If any bloating, fatigue, or right upper abdominal discomfort recurs, stop alcohol completely and repeat tests.
Health Tips
Fatty liver reversal is a second chance — alcohol, even “occasionally,” can silently undo that progress. If you must drink socially, treat it like an exception, not a routine, and always stay hydrated and eat well before and after.
