Why do people continue and continue to drink for years without being tested by a DR. to see how your liver is?!
Answers: functioning? You see all of these young hollywood celebs always bloated from too much booze. You see these old Irish guys sitting at the bar drinking guinness after guinness, and it's all good when you're young, but when you see these fat guys in their 40's - 60's still doing it, I bet their liver has seen better days. I have seen the light. I have drank for around 17 years, mostly beer, but i'm done. I don't want my liver to eventualy fail. I don't want to go through that sickness, pain, operations, most off, I don't have health insurance. I'm sure I'd be at the bottom of the liver list. Yes, it's time for me to stop drinking and get healthy, go to AA, whatever I have to do. These pubs, these beers are so tasty and intoxocating, that people fail to realize that they are toxins to our precious liver. Stop drinking today, you agree?
It's cause they're alcoholics
Are you just trying to fear monger? or is this some form of validation for your new convictions against liquor?
Edit: my sympathies go out to you but to be honest it's only the people in your position i.e. alcoholics and serious problem drinkers that need the help because as you say it's so addictive they can ignore the side-effects often until they end up where you are now. sounds like you're making a positive choice so go for it
