I have just recovered from jaundice. My billirubin had gone up to 6.5 but after 1 month its at 1.1 I have always enjoyed drinking and my fav has been whiskey. I used to drink 3-4 pegs of 60ml each every day. When can i start having whiskey again and can i have beer now and how much can i consume in a day.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor and I will try to help you as much as I can. From medical aspect, it would be the best if you could quit alcohol completely. However, it is hard to expect from the patient so honestly, it would be advisable to reduce it to some more acceptable amounts. If you could sustain form alcohol for 1 months then I am sure you can reduce usual intake. If you had such high bilirubin levels then it was obviously serious liver damage, and you should avoid alcohol for 3 months or have it in minimal amounts. Later you should limit it to 1 peg per day. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
