Sugary drinks contribute to liver problems by repeatedly impacting blood sugar and metabolism, as mentioned by Dr. Ankur Garg. The liver processes sugars, and an overload can lead to fat accumulation, inflammation, and eventually more serious conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, even without excessive alcohol consumption.
