Am I going to destroy my liver at a very young age?!


Question: Am I going to destroy my liver at a very young age?
I am an almost 24 year old female who drinks either a 1 liter bottle of sweet cocktail like tequila rose or alize, a 750 ml bottle of wine or a 375 ml bottle of spirits every friday, saturday and sunday am I destroying my liver at this pace? P.S. I only drink on the weekends.

More than likely Sarah.



Ouch ..... consuming too much alcohol will drive your liver to do hyper metabolism .... and that's even worse if you take medications which is gonna be either toxic or useless ( depends on the medicine).... and the worst thing ever could happen is having the cirrhosis of the liver which will drive you to critical states as having hyper portal pressure ( ascites + big collateral belly veins which is so horrible to look at+ varicose veins in the esophagus you will suffer from dysphagia then => will eventually lead to hemorrhage when your varicose veins blow ... sounds so harsh I don't mean to scare you, but those are medical facts!
Good luck !

Sure sounds like it. Not only do I know people who died in their 40s by drinking less than that, but my mom works in an endoscopy clinic, and apperently the amount of 20 year olds with precancerous cells in their stomachs and ulcers all due to drinking is amazing.

Drinking once in a while isn't bad... but you do realize that alcohol is poison, right?



Good point you haven't destroyed it yet but later on you will its best to have a few weekends of cause most of the time it takes the liver more than a week to regenerate from a moderate to big drinking session.



YOU HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY DESTROYED IT

PS: YOU DO NOT ONLY DRINK AT WEEKENDS - YOU DRINK WEEKENDS AND ANY OTHER TIME YOU DECIDE IS A HOLIDAY/REASON TO DRINK



You certainly are
