Can hepatitis B patients drink alcohol to affect their health?

Suggestion: Hello, the metabolic process of alcohol in the body is mainly carried out in the liver. After entering the human body, a small amount of alcohol can be excreted immediately with the lungs or sweat glands, and most of the alcohol first reacts with alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver to produce acetaldehyde, which is very toxic to liver cells. Normal people will quickly convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid under the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which will generate heat and endanger the health of the liver. Patients with hepatitis B, especially those with chronic hepatitis B, drink a lot of alcohol. The combination of hepatitis B virus and alcohol will aggravate the damage to the liver, and the probability of eventually forming cirrhosis and liver cancer is much higher than that of people who don't drink. Long-term positive hepatitis B surface antigen can easily lead to cirrhosis, promote decompensation of cirrhosis, and may also promote liver cancer, shorten life expectancy and wish an early recovery.
