>I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty confident “social drinking” does not damage your liver this badly by age 31.
Yeah, there was probably illicit drug use or long-term pharma use that exacerbated it. That said, if you start drinking like this during puberty, it does heavily affect your liver. I had a friend who, in middle school, would drink his dads beer secretly and later had liver problems.
I know a doctor who told me if it is almost impossible to drink yourself to death over time. But if you tie one on and wake up with a hangover, pop 2 Tylenol every day and your liver will eventually go. Tylenol and alcohol will do kill you.
Show me a drunk who has stopped eating and I can accurately predict when they will die. If your pet stops eating, many times it is liver failure.
