Women who drink two glasses of wine a night should be sent for liver scans by their GPs to check for cirrhosis, new health guidance in Britain recommends.
The advice from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (Nice) says around two million people are drinking at levels which put them at risk of potentially fatal disease.
GPs are being told that men who drink three pints of beer a night, and women consuming half a bottle of wine nightly are among those who should be sent for scans to check for scarring, also known as cirrhosis of the liver.
