Question

i drink 20 bottles of carlsberg 2wice a wekk im 16 how much damage is this causeing me?

Answer 1

A lot.

Damage to liver, central nervous system, and heart muscle.

Your prognosis is madness and an early death.

Answer 2

I'll just pretend that you live in my country, where your allowed to drink when your 16.

1 normal bottle of carlsberg has about 2 units of alcohol. multiply that by 20 and thats 40 units a day TWICE a week. Your 16 year old liver will become inflamed and you may end up with cancer, so if you want to live to at least 40 please reconsider your weekly and daily consumption limits. (its 4 units a day for men by the way, so drinking 40 in a day is a wee bit much) The weekly limit is 20, so 80 again is waaaay too much.  

Answer 3

If you are drinking 4 or more units a day on average then the first problem is that alcohol can cause high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is the major cause of strokes, the risk is not particularly high but when you look at the population as a whole it makes quite a big impact. The major health problem with drinking too much is that it damages the liver.

Firstly a few myths about alcohol and the liver.

You do not need to be an alcoholic to get liver disease; only 1 in 3 patients with alcohol induced liver failure are alcohol dependent or alcoholic.

You do not need to drink spirits to get liver disease. Approximately 1/3 of our patients drink mainly spirits, 1/3 lager, cider or beer and 1/3 wine. Twenty or thirty years ago to get liver disease from drinking wine was pretty unusual in the UK, it was something that happened in France, Spain or Italy. However many of us drink wine regularly now, and liver disease from drinking wine regularly is increasing. The threshold for liver disease is around 4 bottles a week, above this the incidence of liver disease goes up rapidly. It is also only a matter of time before we see cirrhosis from alcopops.

Everyone who drinks more than 4 or 5 units each day is likely to get what is called fatty infiltration of the liver.

You don't have to be old to get health damage, as I write this we have a 29 year girl on the ward with alcoholic cirrhosis. Our youngest patient so far with severe alcohol induced liver disease was 22 - and he very nearly died. It is unusual however to get serious liver disease at this age, it's more common in your late 30's, 40's and 50's.

Answer 4

A lot. Your poor liver is working overtime (and you've only got one)....you will get Cirrhosis of the liver if you carry on....it will get hard and stop working.......see a counsellor or a doctor....they could help.

Answer 5

ive been binge drinking and smoking since about 14 and feel dizzy every day, suppose i should stop

Answer 6

You are drinking quite excessively at such a young age. Maybe you should lower your consumption. And with all that alcohol you are damaging your entire body. Your liver can only handle soo much toxins at one time. But you are just pouring in down the hatch as if it were nothing. Try to slow it down or else some major problems will arise soon.
