@mgdivad Just so you know my friend died today due to liver failure. The cause of his liver to fail was alcohol. He was in his mid 20's. The doctors wouldn't put him on the doner's recipient list for a liver transplant because he was an alcoholic. Just be careful and don't end up like my friend.

I am a 21 year old heavy drinker, former drug user. I have double the liver enzymes i should. My doc says it is reminiscent in obese people though I am not obese. I can drink more than a 24 pack of beer in a night.
