Based on your responses, you might want to consider cutting back on your weekly alcohol consumption.

The NHS advises not to exceed 14 units of alcohol per week, which is roughly equivalent to 6 pints of beer or glasses of wine.

Additionally, it's recommended to give your liver a break by having three consecutive alcohol-free days each week.
