I get slight liver pains when I probe my right side.. just wondering how bad it shud be before I seek help..?!
Answers: I would drink twice to three times a week. When I drink I drink until i'm at least tipsy. Normal weekend night would start at 7 pm and finish around 4 am during which time 25 standard drinks (1 standard = 30ml of 80 proof spirit or a 330ml beer) would be the average.. im 19 atm been drinking like this for one and a half years roughly (got into clubs illegally when I was 17). Reckon I should cut back?
No, don't cut back. I think you are fine.
By the way, would you sign me as the beneficiary of any life insurance you might have......
You ought to have sought help a long time ago, and also cut out the alcohol completely. You are in deep trouble, my friend. Please see a doctor.
EDIT EDIT
When nothing else works, our denial systems still function perfectly. You obviously have the "hollow leg syndrome", which means that you can consume enough alcohol to kill a normal person. That is a GREAT BIG RED FLAG!!
I started out the same way. You are in a lot worse trouble than you would like to think you are.
of course you should cut back... *rolls eyes*
what was the point of asking that? You -know- you should cut back or you wouldn't have bothered to ask to begin with. I guess you're having trouble with motivation (I know I would be >.<)
If you call Lifeline they'll help you sort out a plan to cut back (or else put you in contact with someone else who can help). If you're worried about bothering them, call sometime after midnight lol that way they won't be too busy :P
If you're getting liver pains, go to a doctor. If you start turning yellow, go to the emergency room. =)
You need to do more than cut back. You need to stop completely right now. You are killing your liver. Best to see your doc asap. Good luck.
