🍷 MYTH: A little alcohol won’t hurt your liver.
🎉 At Uncle Tony’s 60th birthday, he raised a glass:
“I only drink small-small. No shaking!”
But his daughter, Chiamaka, a pharmacist, pulled him aside:
“Daddy, even small alcohol can slowly damage your liver.”
Here’s what she explained 👇
🧬 1. Every drink counts.
Your liver works to break down all alcohol. Even small, regular amounts can lead to fatty liver, inflammation, or scarring over time.
⚠️ 2. Some livers are more sensitive.
Past Hepatitis B, medications, or genes can make damage happen faster — even with ‘light’ drinking.
😶 3. Liver disease shows no symptoms at first.
You may feel fine for years, until it’s too late.
That night, Uncle Tony skipped his second drink and said:
“Next birthday, we raise zobo instead!”
✅ The truth:
Even “a little” alcohol isn’t harmless — especially if done often.
Protect your liver with:
✔ Less or no alcohol
✔ Healthy eating
✔ Regular checkups
✔ Hepatitis B vaccination
📍Care for your liver now, so you can celebrate many more birthdays.
