Question

Im female, 42. i drink 2-3 cans of lager & a quarter bottle of whisky 6 nights a week. how damaged is my liver

Answer 1

Quite bad, stop now and you may have a chance of recovery

Answer 2

I'd say very,if you can't stop then you have an addiction and I'd go see your doctor.

Answer 3

It depends on how long you have been drinking at this level for.

Women are recomended to drink less than 14 units a week and you are drinking that in a day.

Cut down before your health is permanently damaged.

Answer 4

Use this equation

L = ((4C + W)*6)7

L = ((12 + 1)*6)/7) = 11.14% of your liver is damaged.

Answer 5

I say its bad enough where you should have some MORE drinks so you don't think about it.

You only live once, if you cant have fun and party, whats the use?

Answer 6

i wish that god save your liver

Answer 7

Very.

Answer 8

It would appear you are enjoying yourself and you're still on the right side of the grass...

Answer 9

This depends on how long you have been drinking this amount.  A limit of 21 units per week is suggested for females.  I make your consumption approx. 72 units per week.

Best to see your doc for a liver function test, as this is the only way to accurately find out.  

If you've been drinking this amount for a while, there's a chance you may have liver damage.  

Be warned the doc will probably tell you to cut down.

I wonder how you feel on the night you don't drink...?

Answer 10

Go ask a doctor to give you a physical.  None of the psuedo-science offered here will give you an accurate reading.  Also, don't listen to these people labelling you an alcoholic, these are people that have bought into the falsehood of 12-stepping.  Alcoholism ISN'T A DISEASE, BUT A LIFESTYLE CHOICE.  Prove me wrong.  Preferably with science.

The reason I say that these wannabe experts can't give you an accurate account of your liver health is because my uncle has drank at least a sixpack of pint cans of beer every day for the past 35 years.  Mind you, this figure is low, as I have seen him tackle the better part of two of these sixpacks in a day numerous times, and all this aside from whatever hard alcohol he sneaks in here and there.  Despite this habit he's formed, his doctor (the one that gave him his physical) told him that his liver is still in excellent health for his age.

Just have a physical taken, they'd be able to tell you better than a panel of wannabe experts.

Answer 11

firstly as han said,,,,how do you feel on your night off???? or the next day???  loads better?? then you dont need to be drinking this evrey day do you!!!your liver is very forgiving,but it wont be forever!!cut out the quart bottle and just have the 2 cans for a while,,you may find you wont even want the bottle then!! i used to drink too much,,altho i never drank anything more than wine,,i cut it right back as didnt want health probs,,if you dont then you gotta do the same,,,,get to docs for a liver function test if you are worried,,they will do your kidneys at the same time,,,,alcohol isent all its cracked up to be,,believe me.good luck ok.

Answer 12

instead of asking us, you should go to your doctor and let them give you the bad news.

Answer 13

It will be at least 4 times its size and functioning at about 1/4 of its potential . Please try to stay of the sauce . Your liver makes the red cells that carry oxygen and you are not getting enough of them which is why you feel low and turn to drink . Please try to stay of the sauce .

Answer 14

It all depends.  Go see your doctor and ask for a range of blood tests; these will include a liver-function test.  The result of this will give you your answer.

I have blood tests every six months as a routine.

Answer 15

it really depends on how long you have been doing this for .

Answer 16

I'm surprised you're livers still functioning. Stop now before it's too late.

Answer 17

hahaha pretty sure you should be dead or something

or you're a paraplegic

Answer 18

Pickled!!!!

Answer 19

It won't be too long before you start going slightly yellow - with liver failure..........

Answer 20

you are drinking about  11.5 units of alcohol a day, 69 per week the government recommend 14 units per week

go and see your doctor & get your liver tested before its to late

Answer 21

Much worse than it would be for a man the same size and age. Women have certain tissue in their bodies that hold on to the alcohol. And smaller organs than men that cause them to burn the alcohol much more slowly than a man. Please be careful.

Answer 22

very damaged, and you're an alcoholic. You need help.. go and see your doctor and/or join an AA group. You can only help yourself if you want to be helped though, there's no use doing it if you truly don't want to stop.

Answer 23

Try to not drink for a day, if you have any withdrawl symptoms Like;

Feeling of jumpiness or nervousness

Involuntary, abnormal movements of the eyelids

A state of confusion and hallucinations (visual) -- known as delirium tremens

Agitation

Fever

Convulsions

You should goto an aa meeting because you body is dependant but if you have none of these symptoms see a doc for a check up....

Answer 24

That entirely depends on your stamina.

For lunch u r taking beer n during dinner taking whisky with club soda.....leisurely..with some good food /stuff ie., chicken fry /roast  etc.,

...........no harm.But try to reduce the abv qty..for longer n healthy future/LIFE.
