Do YOU drink TOO MUCH alcohol? How is your liver?
 

Do YOU drink TOO MUCH alcohol? How is your liver? I personally drink 2 or 3 times a week, never by myself, but always in social situations. Is that too much? Am I doing some serious damage to my liver, or can my body handle 2 or 3 times a week? How much do you drink?

How much are you consuming each time? What are you drinking?

if you are really concerned about this your doctor can do a liver function test. they draw blood and send it off to a lab to be tested.

Well a couple weeks ago on Oprah some lady said if you black out 1 time you probably have a problem :(

as for physically i'm not real sure, but if your getting waisted 2-3 times/week i'm sure your liver cant hang with it til over 70 or so

"The liver is evil and must be punished" :1orglaugh

But seriously, I think you're all right, but if you're really concerned do that test mentioned earlier.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Well.. 2 or 3 times a week equals how many drinks?

50-60? And hopefully all blackouts

I drink daily but I try to keep it moderate :)

Left class, went to the bar, brought home a 6 pack and here I am. :Graucho

ive been drinkin 100 to 200 oz of beer every weekend.

i'm probably at about 300oz/week plus 20 shots (mostly jager)

My X is 29, has chirrosis of the liver. She gets trashed every weekend, all weeked. Her livers gonna shit out probably in a few more years. Dont think you're indestructable because you only drink on weekends.

Ouch, that sucks

As far as me, I am 26, I drink usually 3 times a week, but only 1 day of that is heavy drinking where I get drunk...The other 2 days, I just have a little bit of alcohol, like 3 or 4 beers

The "safe" limits (assuming you don't binge drink) are approx 28 units per week for men and 21 for women.

1 shot of spirits contains approx 1 unit of alcohol.
1 glass of wine contains approx 1 unit of alcohol.
1 pint of beer contains approx 2 units of alcohol, unless it's American beer, in which case drink as much as you want :winkwink:

I think that is extremely moderate and without any pre existing or genetic predispositon to a liver problem that you should be fine. I haven't had a drink since Internext in Florida last year. :)

I used to go out every night, and drink a shitload every night. Now I drink 3 times a week..........

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


i drink 2-3 times / week... around 3-10 beers per session.. depends on the mood :glugglug

I have a pickled liver by now i'm sure..

:)

better worry about your pancreas also.

If you drink a lot, I guess it depends on the person, if your health gets hurt or not.

I use 2 drink a lot and my body parts are fine.

If you find yourself thinking about drinking during the day or thinking, be glad when i get off work so i can have a beer, you might want 2 rethink your drinking habits.

I don't think I drink enough water. I think that fucks your kidneys or something else down there.

LOL never a truer word said

My liver looks like a chewed up piece of gum :Graucho

The liver is one of the most hardy organs in your body. Did you know that if you chopped 2/3 of your liver off, it can rejuvinate itself and grow back? If you are drinking to the point of liver damage, and not eating enough detoxifying veggies, you are doing yourself a total disservice. You need your liver to function properly.

pretty much everyday. ok, everyday.

lol i like this one hahaha

Yeah sometimes I drink too much, but not on a daily basis.

I drink beer everyday, and haven't had the flu or a cold in 6 years. I think I'm killing all the bacteria.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What veggies help detoxify your liver?


Most veggies these days are arguably toxic themselves, no? (ie GMO Vs. organic)

I have a fatty liver with an elevated liver cell count, not sure if it's drinking related, but it may well be :Graucho

Is there any supplements you can take before drinking to help recovery and such or lesson the damage? Just to be on the safe side.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:P

is it bad when your eyes start turning yellow?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

not anymore, i get allergy attacks when i go over my limit and that one day experience of not able to get out of bed was my last.

i guess today is an exception :glugglug

Looked at it yesterday....looke just fine.

yeah...thats a bad sign :(

that sucks, but I can't say I feel sorry for her....she brings it on herself...

no, I am not into alcohol, and have no plan either :)

so my liver is 100% ok :thumbsup

metaform a herb called milk thistle can regenerate your liver

Thats about the opinion I have on the subject too.
