<s>[INST] Hello I would like to inquire about mild hepatomelagy. I was recently given an ultrasound and it showed that my liver was mildly enlarged due to being overweight. I am not a drinker but I would l  like to know that if I did decide to drink alcohol would this hinder my effort to reverse this condition? Would it hurt me in anyway or effect my liver function so that this mild hepatomelagy becomes worse? Thanks [/INST] Hi thanks for asking question.Mild to moderate alcohol drink have no major adverse effect on our body..But you have hepatomegaly and probably fatty liver ....so better to avoid alcohol.Loose your weight. ..Take less fatty diet....Avoid bad fat diet  like burger, pizza, cheese , meat etc....Once your BMI ideal and no hepatomegaly or fatty liver then you can consume alcohol.Safe limit is 20 gm per day....Take care.....Dr.Parth Goswami </s>
