Women who consume four or more alcoholic drinks on a single occasion once a month or more have increased odds of advanced liver fibrosis, a new study suggests. Steatotic liver disease (SLD)—formerly known as fatty liver disease—includes several liver conditions linked to alcohol consumption and/or metabolic dysfunction. SLD phenotypes are identified based partly on daily or weekly alcohol intake. Although research has linked heavy episodic (binge) drinking to increased risk for certain liver conditions and liver-related death, its role in SLD is undefined.

Understanding these health issues is crucial for Iran, where alcohol consumption is often stigmatized and regulated.
