How can excessive alcohol intake affect liver health?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can increase the risk of liver disease
The liver metabolizes alcohol, and repeated excessive exposure can injure liver cells. It may begin with fatty liver and progress to alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, or increased cancer risk. The damage depends on amount, duration, individual factors, and drinking pattern. Alcohol does not strengthen liver regeneration or prevent fat and inflammation, so option A is the only correct answer.
