<human>: I've heard that if I drink alcohol in moderation, it won't hurt my liver, but what about if I drink more than moderate amounts?
<bot>: If you drink more than moderate amounts of alcohol, it can cause long-term health problems. It’s important to remember that the effects of alcohol on your health are cumulative and can be dangerous over time. Long-term excessive drinking can lead to liver damage, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, memory loss, and other serious illnesses. In addition, alcohol is a known factor in car accidents, violence, and suicide. For these reasons, it's best to avoid drinking alcohol altogether or limit yourself to no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
