Alcohol is poisonous to humans, just depends on the dosage. The thing is alcoholism, is the NEED to consume, and the amount is not how we define alcoholism. There is no amount that won’t cause damage to liver, it’s what you drink, how often you drink, and how much you drink. If you drink regularly, high proof liquor eventually it could cause cirrhosis’. Some people drink like fish and never get it, some drink a little over years and get it. There are so many factors involved it is not quantifiable. If you consume excessive( which you are ) amounts eventually over time you will In fact damage your liver, wether you end up with cirrhosis, is something no one can answer. Besides why play with fire, knowing eventually you could get burned. Try other ways to de stress. Alcohol being addictive will only make your life and relationships more difficult as you become dependent.

Yeah, I'm just doing that, not drinking anymore. I would agree that it was definitely too much, too. But besides, I didn't mention my consumption pattern, did I? How do you know? And I was indeed interested in the mechanisms.

I meant this as generalized information, as referenced to your question.
