Binge Drinking and Genetic Predisposition Increase Risk of Alcohol-Related Cirrhosis

 New research suggests that alcohol-related cirrhosis of the liver, commonly associated with chronic alcohol misuse, may also be triggered by binge drinking. People who binge drink and have a genetic predisposition to alcohol-related cirrhosis, particularly those with type 2 diabetes, may have a six-fold increased risk of developing the disease. The study emphasizes the significance of drinking patterns, not just volume, in the development of cirrhosis. Binge drinking, genetic predisposition, and type 2 diabetes together contribute to a higher risk of liver disease, highlighting the importance of considering multiple factors.
