Hi Anyone,

I drink every day for the last year. I was just diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes so my doctor has me going for hepatitis A, B, C blood work. Can drinking beer bring on hepatitis.

I dont't know about the hepatitis but I do know from experience it causes pancreatitis and yellow jaundice when you drink too much.  It wouldn't hurt for you to drink a lot of water.  I am in recovery from drinking too much all the time.  The elevated enzymes can be a sign of liver or pancreas problems.
