                                               Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD)



                                          Prevention of ARLD

            ▪   Stop drinking alcohol or stick to the recommended limits.

            ▪   Not drink more than 14 units of alcohol beverage a week.

            ▪   If you drink > 14 units a week, spread it out over 3 days or more.

            ▪   Stop binge drinking (drinking > 5 units at one time).

            ▪   Following are the equivalent of 1 unit:


                      330ml Beer                100ml Wine                 30ml Spirits
                        (5% ABV)                  (12% ABV)                 (40% ABV)






























                    6                              7                                           8


                 The earlier you stop drinking, the better your liver able to recover;
                         when the liver disease has progressed to a late stage,
                                     the damage may be irreversible.







                                           Don’t drink and drive!
