Doctor Calls Two Bottle Drinkers Ills In Liver Disease
CHICAGO. Dr. Charles L. Connor of San Francisco studied 130 cases of fatty liver and cirrhosis and linked them to alcohol and poor diet in chronic alcoholism. He defines a two bottle man as one who drinks two quarts daily, not two pints, and notes alcohol impairs carbohydrate metabolism and fat oxidation, making the liver a fat store and more vulnerable to poisons.
