Alcohol and the Transplant Recipient
In everyday use
alcohol, usually refers to drinks such as beer, wine, or
spirits containing ethyl alcohol - a substance that can cause
drunkenness and changes in consciousness, mood, and emotions. It
is these intoxicating and psychoactive effects that lead to so
many accidents, injuries, diseases, and disruptions in the
family life of everyday Australians.Your

Due to the different ways that alcohol can affect people,
there is no amount of alcohol that can be said to be
safe for everyone. People choosing to drink must
realise that there will always be some risk to their health and
social well-being
For the Transplanted person 'common sense' and 'moderation' must be used at all times regarding their alcohol consumption.
