Abstract

Background and Objectives: Alcohol consumption is a prevalent behavior among young adults, with potential implications for liver health. This study aims to explore the relationship between various patterns of alcohol consumption and liver function in this demographic group. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 young adults were recruited. Participants completed a detailed questionnaire to report their alcohol consumption habits, including frequency, quantity, and type of alcohol consumed. Liver function was assessed through standard biochemical liver function tests. The study focused on identifying patterns in alcohol consumption and correlating these with liver function test results. Results: The majority of participants engaged in moderate alcohol consumption, with a significant minority reporting heavy drinking patterns. Analysis revealed a statistically significant association between heavy alcohol consumption and impaired liver function, as indicated by altered liver enzyme levels. However, moderate alcohol consumption showed no significant correlation with liver function impairment. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential risks of heavy alcohol consumption on liver function among young adults. It underscores the need for targeted public health interventions and awareness programs aimed at reducing harmful drinking habits in this age group. Further research, particularly longitudinal studies, is essential to fully understand the long-term impacts of different alcohol consumption patterns on liver hea
