People with alcoholic liver disease who stop drinking have a much better chance of long-term survival. Overall, the five-year survival rate is 60% for those who stop drinking and less than 30% for those who don't. 1
Most retrospective studies have shown that a daily intake of alcohol greater than 4-5 drinks per day for males and about 1.5 drinks per day for females increases the risk of cirrhosis. (ACG practice guidelines intro, p3 ref 6,50) Still, only about 6–40 % of men and women who drink at these levels go on to develop cirrhosis, the advanced stage of alcoholic liver disease 1 .
